A brief history of Red Bat

The Red Bat Cricket Collective has a history dating back further than most of its members are willing (or able) to recall, and much of it is best left undisturbed. A few of the more salubrious episodes are recalled in these pages.

Highlights

NEW: Phil Jones's History of RBCC on Tour
If you can remember Wylam you weren't there
Hobbs, Ranji, and now RedBat: Paul O'Connor's The Beautiful Game
Words from the little master: Phil Jones's ton
All for one and seventeen all out - now with extra humiliating detail from one of the guilty men.
The now-legendary Bruised Coccyx Incident. Sitting down can be Really Dangerous.

[A note from your Editor: the coccyx incident, though tragically unnoticed by anyone except its victim for all these years, suggests a new theme for reminiscences: Great Injuries I Have Known. I'm happy to hear from any member of the collective with an amusing tale of cricket-related lesions, dislocations or fractures to tell, but a few categories spring to mind.

Injuries of a personal nature occasioned by wasps or other insectivora
Damage sustained while washing hair, or otherwise attending to personal hygiene
Non-specific back trouble brought on by getting out LBW
Apoplexy or other psychological dysfunction brought on by getting out LBW

Gory accounts of trips to Casualty to have teeth re-inserted are perhaps beyond the bounds of light entertainment, and the urge to recount these should be resisted.]

If you just want the cold hard facts, you've come to the right place.
