SPRIGHTLY Mike Fisher proves he’s the oldest swinger in town by still turning out for this local cricket team every week - at the age of 91.

Never too BOWLED!

The grandfather-of-two is still batting off opponents decades younger than him - 75 years after taking up the sport.

The RAF veteran turns out for two hours a week, every Friday, for his local team and says he can still play all over the field.

Mike, who is probably Britain’s oldest cricketer, averages around eight runs a game - and has vowed to carry on playing for as long as he can.

The OAP rekindled his love of the game aged 87 after arranging a cricket match with friends for a dementia charity.

They enjoyed it so much that the group carried on playing and each week they get together at Manor Farm Community Association in Rushall, Walsall.
