Episode three of the Geras vs Massie cricketing showdown is underway. It’s Norm’s turn to pick first and, as I feared he might, he’s exploiting his greater knowledge of South African cricket. Getting my excuses in early, I consider myself the underdog in this game. Anyway, the rules are the same as ever: only chaps who have played post-1945 are eligible for selection… You can follow the action here and, of course, at Norm’s place too.
