Maybe there’s something in this league for the bowlers after all.
After a record-breaking start to the season for batters in the Love Lane Liverpool Competition, there was something heartening in the way the leonine seamer Scott Lees hurled himself at Formby on Saturday to set up a seven-wicket win for Ormskirk.
Lees has sent down at least 170 overs every year since 2010. The 11.1 he produced at Cricket Path were too good for a depleted home side, who lost their first three wickets for 17 inside eight overs, then their last seven for 32 in less than 15.
