Last week Central Districts quick Brett Randell became the first to take five wickets in five balls in First Class history and then went one further to become the first to take six wickets in eight balls, too.
Why are we talking to him for Cider Press? Because he is a former Somerset overseas (albeit incredibly briefly as we get on to later).
Naturally, Harry Everett instantly clicked with Brett on his arrival in Taunton via Harry’s coaching of Brett’s Central Districts teammate Curtis Heaphy on his gap year working in New Zealand in 2015 and their shared enthusiasm for frisbee golf. During the call, they found they had even more in common.
Brett, I have to start with the 5 in 5, including a quadruple wicket maiden that ended in four byes. You had 7 for 4 to your name after 7 overs! Talk me through your plan and thoughts between each ball!
