Anyone ever played against any disabled teams? We played against England Deaf yesterday (They beat us with our strongest team out, by 8 runs)
Seemed a pretty good setup they were out on the field an hour and half early warming up, had coaches and a rather good looking physio! Trying to get hold of some of the footage as their technical team recorded every ball. They even had an England Lions team playing on our bottom square.
Have to say... I felt like some of our appeals were falling on deaf ears :-[
