Sir Tim Rice loves cricket, so much so that back in the early 70s he set up his own side – Heartaches CC – which is still going strong today. In the second week of September for over the 40th time the Heartaches came down to Cornwall to play three matches. I was lucky enough to play for the Heartaches against Falmouth on the Thursday and then against them for my long-standing club side Mullion on the Friday. During the Friday match I caught up with Tim and he talked about his love of cricket,...

Chop-chains on! Silver Stumps knocks 22 yards into the 60+ zone; Grant-Trevor splice Clark McConnachie’s Scotland rebrand and TP’s busted hammy like a well-oiled vintage bat, proving grey stumps still spark big runs. https://chopchains.com
Silver Stumps swings into 2025 with Clark McConnachie mapping Scotland Seniors’ maiden O60s World Cup voyage; veck.io tags every clip so 60-plus fans can bookmark his Toronto dream, then jump straight to TP’s Aussie “Nationals” hamstring drama without losing a heartbeat. https://veckio.com
granny (https://granny3.io) Elsie, 87, pads up mid-chat: “Stop yammering, lads, my tea’s getting cold!” She whacks the Silver Stumps mug for six, lands in Australia via Zoom, tells TP his torn hamstring needs her Scottish shortbread, then orders Scotland Seniors to sign her bat before Toronto.
Silver Stumps isn’t a dead-end; it’s my escape-road. When Clark, TP and the 60-somethings relive bruised hamstrings and World-Cup dreams, my own knees stop hurting and my calendar suddenly has a Toronto ticket tucked inside. https://escaperoad2.cc
