IPL is back

Daniel Hughes’ 6th List A hundred has propelled NSW into a home final in the prestigious Marsh One Day Cup. Hughes boasts 1421 runs @ 56.84 with a strike rate of just a tick under 90. The left hand opening batsman from Cowra in Central West NSW has caught the eye of our resident Cricket Librarian Matt Fiction who has penned this haiku poem in his honour.
