LARGE BORIS WOBBLE

CLUB cricket has finally received the green light to resume next week after Boris Johnson asked for his own DRS review.

But in a welcome reverse, Johnson admitted he had been “stumped” by the earlier question and after taking advice from the third umpire – in this case, chief medical officer Chris Whitty – he was now ready for the game at club level to resume.

Club cricket can resume from July 11 with Johnson saying: “I just want to be clear. Having been stumped on the radio this morning, I sought scientific advice and medical opinion, the third umpire has been involved.
