It may only be a University game but this is still pretty special - 27 days into his 16th year Barney Gibson has become the youngest County cricketer ever, breaking a record that has stood for 144 years, by playing for Yorkshire against Durham University.
I think you'll find that the previous record has stood for 144 YEARS, not 144 DAYS!
ReplyDeleteAlso, he's 15 years old, not sixteen. But apart from that, a nice story, and he must be pretty talented to keep to Shazad!
ReplyDeleteWhoops - the days/years thing is corrected! Apologies...
ReplyDeleteDoesn't saying that he's in his sixteenth year mean he's 15 Chris? Hopefully just the one mistake rather than 2!
