Craig Puts Middlesex to the Spear

Ex-Black Cap Craig Spearman broke W.G Grace’s record for the best ever innings in an English county cricket match, hitting a staggering 341 runs for Gloucester against Middlesex. The legendary Grace made 318 not out for Gloucester against Yorkshire in 1876. Spearman followed with a match-winning 143 not-out against Yorkshire in the C&G Trophy semi-final, sparking rumours that he may soon be playing for England.
