Test players playing club cricket.
« on: February 06, 2013, 08:56:40 AM »
Just wondering if anyone has played/plays against current test players?
Trent Boult (opening blower from NZ) was playing for his local club last weekend. The poor sods who played him on Saturday had no answer, He took 8 wickets.
Kane Williamson is a member of my club but was apparently injured last week otherwise he would have played.

I used to play Yorkshire league and if you were unlucky you could end up playing the likes of Craig White or Chris Silverwood on their free weekends.

Apparently Ed Cowan was due to play for Bath CC last year before he got called up as he was coming back from injury

Worst would be the Bradford and Yorkshire Leagues, where you can end up playing county players in Second XI cricket!

He played a season or two in Scotland 2-3 years ago.

Amazing to see that these sort of players don't have better records at this level!
