A Lancashire cricketer today became the first Englishman in history to hit six sixes in one over AND IT WAS AGAINST THE GREAT UNWASHED!!! Deep joy.

Or "Man with stick hits ball successfully", if you're not a sport obsessed numbskull.

I thought only First Class matches counted for this sort of stuff?

Or is it -
"It had never been done
By a vicar's son
On a Thursday
Against Kent
After tea."

Always the same when you teach bloody foreigners how to play sport, even the Aussies have been known to win at rugby for gods sake

Mock all you like but suck it up. If you can. A Lancastrian delivered the coup de grace and the Yorkshiremen were his vict...opposition.

It was a second XI game and not worth squandering the electrons crowing about it.

So, the headline is 'Lancastrian hits ball with stick'
Clearly the cream of the crop, if one could describe a Lancastrian as such.
Honestly, Cricket really is the daftest game ever. Douglas Adams didn't take the piss out of it anything like enough...

More to the point, it's the British Pie Awards competition today, with the results being announced tomorrow. I have a feeling that Lancashire will probably come last

I've yet to be impressed by pies bought in Lancashire though Morecambe FC, apparently, have some worth sampling.

If cricket is going to be commented upon then at least it should be newsworthy like this:

Fastest century and highest score in T20

Our Rose is Pure & Clean Bred. Unlike Lancashires which is red. Same colour as blood.

Don't worry, the poor second division lot need to celebrate something
