Thanks. All yours if you want to use it – just grab it if you wish. I took it with my smart phone. A King Cricket reader and former comment-maker is my witness. Who needs an infeasibly long lens?

Gutted, I was, that I would miss out on seeing Pottsy play. But a minor miracle occurred this very day – he entered the field of play and fielded right in front of me for a while.

Ladies and gentlemen – I give you – Pottsy:

A one syllable surname is retained in its entirety and a “y” added.

Pottsy.

Matt Potty not a name you’d willingly court. Conjures images.

I noticed your editorial decision to refer to the lad as Matty Potts, KC, presumably in an attempt to avoid the ignominious but almost inevitable nickname Potty.

Alas, not in the usual sense round here 🙁
