His father is Bill Hartley former GB 400 metre hurdler and his mother, Donna, was a GB 400 metre runner and she later became a bodybuilder.
Bit of Saturday afternoon trivia for you...
Len, you are correct that Bill Hartley is Tom's dad but Donna* divorced Bill and Ann-Louise is Tom's mum.
*Trivia
Donna Hartley who died at 58 married Robert Weiss (Bobby Nutt) after her divorce from Bill.1 -
India A beat The Lions by 134 runs despite 80 (105) from Ollie Robinson0
-
That drop by Crawley is starting to get very costly0

Below is the somewhat sub-standard South African side (due to their own T20 comp going on at the same time) playing in New Zealand as evidenced by the fact that the home side are 258-2 with both Williamson and Ravindra currently unbeaten on 112 and 118 respectively.
The SA side includes Ed Moore who played for Minster for the last three seasons and someone called Raynard van Tonder who looks like a "dead ringer" for Kane Williamson. In fact, it is Kane Williamson and presumably they didn't have a "mug shot" of the South African so opted to stick the NZ number 3 in instead!

Charlton should do the same when announcing the side on the big screen before matches. Put Mbappe's photo up for Ladapo, and De Bruyne for Bakinson.4

Great low catch by Foakes off Rehan to dismiss Ashwin
255 all out and 399 for us to win0 - Sponsored links:

If the selecters even think about dropping Foakes they should be shot.3

We must have been close to register some sort of world record - in our two innings bowling we have conceded just 5 extras (3 leg byes and two no balls) out of a total of 651 runs. Great discipline albeit aided by the fact that we only bowled 35 overs of seam. But even so.0
-
Arguably, in these conditions, keeping predominantly to spinners all day, Foakes should be the first name on the teamsheet.4
-
India 1.14
England 7.60
Draw 560.000 -
England should've no chance and 250 would be a push in a 4th innings in India.
It will be 1-1 but Plenty of Positives.0 -
As I said after the last Test, the pressure should be on Bairstow to get some meaningful runs either in this or the next Test. Not Foakes.killerandflash said:Arguably, in these conditions, keeping predominantly to spinners all day, Foakes should be the first name on the teamsheet.1 -
India open with the two seamers. Oh that we had a choice to do so!0
-
Mind you, if you are going to bowl half trackers as Mukesh has just done then you might just as well stick with the one seamer0
-
Kuldeep made to look a mug by his captain!0

Ben Duckett doesn't believe in a corridor of uncertainty!2
-
I think it's safe to say that Mukesh with figures of 9-1-63-0 in the match won't be playing in the next Test0
-
Following yet another opening partnership, Duckett falls for 28 off 27 to an inside edge onto pad, caught by keeper Bharat and bowled by Ashwin
50-1 and another 349 required0 -
Rehan is sent in as nightwatchman. Can he resist the urge?0
-
An actual nightwatchman, as opposed to a night hawk0
-
No, another night hawk!killerandflash said:An actual nightwatchman, as opposed to a night hawk3 -
Not the most authordox night watchmen I've seen 🫣2
-
67-1 at close and 332 required to win. A pleasing start.
Crawley 29* (50)
Rehan 9* (8)0 -
Bumrah once the ball starts to reverse swing tomorrow will be a massive danger.0
