Prateek getting the autograph of Alistair Cook, who was visiting there. He denied a role in the Jelly-bean affair. He only ate fruit pastilles, he said

The game was not without an incident. Jelly beans were spotted on the pitch. Then we spotted A. Cook who vehemently denied any connection. Where was Zaheer Khan ??

Arun waiting for his turn to get Gordon Greenidge's autograph.

Roxton II v Prime Ministers

These pictures were taken of the game with Prime Ministers. Habib and Nayar shined with both bat and ball and were declared Men of the match.

Habib executing an effective push towards on the way to a decent 46. Rickster absorbing everything from square leg Nayar waiting to whack the ball under the watchful eyes of Ian Nayar about to clobber the ball on his way to a wonderful 74 runs

Roxton I v Marston (11/06/05)

No prize for guessing where the ball's gone. Matt 'titch' Clayton and Nandu did not show any consideration for either the bowler or the leather and put up a wonderful partnership to restore some hope in today's game, which we however lost.

Titch executive a stylish pull over the bowler Titch shows he can square cut as wellNandu gets on his knees begging for more such hitsNandu's watchful eyes key to the big innings. Titch not to be found wanting, watches Nandu
