Child of India, Oxford scholar, schoolmaster, published poet and father of four. Mark Floyer has lived a full life, but somehow his story always returns to cricket. His delightful honest memoir encapsulates beautifully the extraordinary grip this strange game has on so many of us.

Runs allround for Devon batters, posting 246 for 9, Worcestershire settling for one batting point at 127 for 8. Devon raced to 50 in 7 overs, as Sheps (35) battered the opening bowlers for 7 boundaries, Clarke (40) carried it on with A.Rose (21) Matthews (39) Stanton (57 n.o.) and Hart (29). Worcestershire it seemed, had no intention to chase at 52 for 4 off half their overs, and the game slowly petered out with WORCS 119 runs short. Pick of the Bowling Fran Pyle 3 for 34 (could have been 5) Neil Price 2 for 15 and one apiece for Stanton, Amery & Floyer...MOM Tom Stanton...Wales at home next Tuesday.
