    Sport Relief bowled out for 120

    By Will 2 years ago, mid-March, No Comments; be the first!

    As mentioned the other day, Sport Relief are out in India with a number of celebrities to raise funds for the less advantaged. It’s a good charity, made all the better by involving the Great Game.

    The charity side, known as the Red Socks, lost their opening match with Jack Russell, Chris Evans, Phil Tufnell and Rosalie Birch all failing badly. Red Socks, chasing 177, slumped to a woeful 120 in 20 overs! Perhaps the choice of Tufnell as captain needs reconsidering.

    Andrew Flintoff attended a Sport Relief function today, too, to lend his support in Mumbai.

    Having despatched some shots deep into the streets, the all-rounder then missed one from an excitable youngster and was bowled.

    The Mumbai project is designed to give an education to homeless children and, in addition, Flintoff’s visit coincided with an Indian festival where people are painted with coloured powder.
