Courtney Walsh, Cameron Cuffy, and a chap called Colin Stuart were hilarious to watch batting. All the time, they'd come out sans any headgear (helmet or hat) and try to play like real batsman!

Martin's useless though- packs his dacks at the mere sight of a batsman coming into bowl.

Well, after an innings of 4 not out yesterday, his average has 'improved' to 2.26.

The boundary that he hit was an attempt to leather the ball through the covers. Somewhat predictably, the ball ended up flying (albeit along the ground) between point and gully, just backward of square. The favourite Martin scoring zone, I imagine.

Seriously though, Martin looked in form. He kept out a whole over of Maharoof. Why Jimmy Franklin decided he needed to hit Murali down Cambridge Terrace to bring up his fifty, I'll never know.

I have watched Courtney Walsh bat many times, and, yes, I do think Chris Martin is the worst number 11!

Funniest got to be Devon Malcolm,but on the odd occasion he could hit it!
Worst agreed is Martin.
