Sledging. When it's right, it's right

When Hibby arrived at the crease on Saturday he was reminded of the James Ormond classic sledge to Mark Waugh that at least he, Ormond, was the best cricketer in his own family by the close fielders.

You aren't kidding. Today little brother James Hibberd hit 157 from 47 balls in a national 2020 competition. He took four wickets too. He guided his side into the final.

In one over he hit the first five balls for six, the sixth was a wide and the seventh went for a one-bounce four. Awesome stuff.

Amusingly this might make Hibberd J a world champion as organisers believe that 157 might be the highest 2020 score made at the level being played... A Hibberd as world champion... where have we heard that before...
