Lounge Suit County Cricket
With stumps pulled on a Thursday evening at Southampton when Hampshire required just one run to complete victory over Nottinghamshire, the teams were obliged to return the following morning to finish the match. Seeing no point in putting on their cricket whites, the Nottinghamshire team took the field in lounge suits and soft hats. Bill Voce and Fred Barratt took no chances with the weather and wore overcoats. Captain Arthur Carr bowled, and the second ball of the short day was driven by Hampshire batsman Alec Kennedy. He had no need to run as the mufti-clad fielders watched the ball trickle slowly to the boundary, making no effort to stop it. Date: 23 May 1930
