I did wonder if Freddie Van Den Bergh would ever make it. He was at Bickley CC in the year above my eldest son, is now 25 and has been with Surrey for over 10 years - yet this is only his 6th First Class match.
Agreed. Really had no option. If we'd even batted for 2 sessions there would have not been enough time left in the game to take all 10 wickets.
Let's give ourselves every chance of taking them all and then see where we are and how long we have to chase what.
I'm delighted for the Burger Van. I won't pretend he has made it yet but it shows that patience with spinners is the way to go. It's an art and it has to be learnt.
