That one distinguished not only because the happy couple knocked off the winning runs, but because it was a “return to the scene of the crime” – Fran & Eugene met at the equivalent fixture in Holland Park three years earlier.

The photograph within the above piece of Charley The Gent helping the police with their enquiries is reason enough to click.

An interesting side note to the term Cestrian – which I admit I looked up to check whether or not it is for real – is the fact that not only is it the term for anyone who hails from Chester (the Cheshire place from whence Sophie originates), it applies to anyone who is a native of or resident in a place named Chester – including anyone from Chester-le-Street. This fact does open the door to some Cestrian word play for Durham CCC. players. In Mark Wood’s case. given his once regular wicket celebration riding an imaginary horse…
