Enjoyed this on tinternet, from an Aussie I believe.
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT
Whilst we love our niche domestic cricket in this country there is potentially no competition in the world more insane than English County Cricket.
A division 2 match between Gloucestershire (featuring WA's Cameron Bancroft and the Slug himself Beau Webster) and Glamorgan (featuring some weirdo Queenslander) has finished in a tie after a brilliant catch on the final ball of the match.
After scoring 179 and 197 runs in the first digs respectively, Gloucestershire declared their second innings at 5/610 off only 116 overs after the local council made the bizarre decision to build a highway through the ground in the middle of the match. Bancroft making 184, James Bracey (of 2.66 test average fame) making 204* and Slug finishing 64*
Chasing FIVE-HUNDRED-AND-NINETY-THREE for victory Marnoooos peeled off 119 while Sam "how the fuck did he never get a test cap" Northeast piled on 187 to give the madlads a shot at it. Warnie's fourth love child, Mason Crane, took it all the way to the final ball of the match: one run required for Glamorgan, one wicket for Gloucestershire.
Dale to McIlroy, edges it behind and Bracey, with his glove already off to prevent the bye, takes an absolute screamer barehanded to make it a tie.
While potentially not quite as good as the 2014 Matador Cup match between Tasmania and Queensland at North Sydney, this absolutely has to go down as one of the best ever games of cricket.
Thank God for county cricket, Amen
