113 beers, not out



The beers are on you, Grant...
Essex have had little to celebrate the last few days after successive trouncings from Lancashire and Yorkshire.
One Essex player can take some consolation, however. Zimbabwean Grant Flower chalked up an unbeaten 113 against Yorkshire Carnegie in the Clydesdale Bank 40 competition on Sunday and will no doubt be pleased with his knock, his first One Day century for Essex.
Even more good news for Grant comes with the fact that he’s being sponsored by The Golden Fleece in Chelmsford and the Brentwood Beer Company this season to the tune of a pint for every run he scores. On Sunday’s tally, he’s due 113 pints next time he drops into The Golden Fleece so I might keep popping by the pub myself, just in case he’s got a brewery’s worth of beer amassed at the bar.
