Match Drawn

I notice a Michael Pepper playing tonight in the 100. He's the keeper for London Spirt.
Lancashire have a limited over keeper called Phil Salt and Durham keeper 10 years ago was Phil Mustard.

That completes the full set of wicketkeeper condiments.

^^ It's a shame Jonas Vingegaard is a cyclist & not a keeper.
