I do love the official website.

You can always rely on their PR spin for a chuckle.

Superb. Neither suitable for the 1st XI nor 'that' Heather Graham.   

Wish her best of luck, seeing that our recent history of O/S signings is roughly analogous to Spinal Tap drummers or bass players in The Shadows...

Spinal Tap drummers

If I recall correctly Spinal Tap had an album called "Smell The Glove".

Our batsmen barely get time to put on their gloves let alone smell them.

..and they rarely get up to 10, let alone 11 - which we all know is one more.

Given Larry's recent corker about not being able to win Division 1 from Division 2 I wouldn't take it as read that he can count all the way up to 11.
