Gonna add “Glamorgan” to the list of “English counties, as classified by the mysterious mechanics of County Cricket”.

The ball swung like crazy.

Yeah, I should have added the clarification “between two English counties” – though perhaps the Netherlands become an honorary English county for such purposes, in a similar way to other not-actual-counties like Middlesex or (controversial view forthcoming klaxon) Yorkshire or Sussex.

Depends whether you include this sort of thing.

I think there were three: ten Doeschate, Snater, van der Merwe.

There have been occasions in the past where several Dutch internationals were playing county cricket so two-in-a-match must have happened several times before, but three may be a record. Possibly somewhat tainted by the fact that (unlike, say, Bas Zuiderent and the legendary Andre van Troost) none of them were actually born in the Netherlands.

Probably a bit late for an edit.
Maintaining this “we” thing is very, very hard, you know. You’ve no idea how often we almost get it wrong.

That is a good and clear reason. This is literally the only time strapping has ever seemed comprehensible to me.

I appreciate that this news only really explains the location of one of the bits of strapping. Perhaps the other is a common-or-garden bit of wrist strapping?
