For the two people in the County who havent yet heard from the man himself, Jer crashed his first ever
century against Charlton Kings Working Mens Club on Sunday - a massive 136.
James Petrie took 3-5 and Ben Pockett cracked an unbeaten half-century as Cranham recorded
and emphatic 8 wicket win over Highham Court.

An aggregate of nearly 500 runs under blue sky was the perfect start to the season
and for Matt Smith in particular who cracked his first century in all forms of cricket
- a magnificent 148.
In reply Marle Hill were with it all the way thanks to two of their guests -
Nathan Moore (82) and Ali Bell (40). Lack of firepower in the tail, however, meant that
Cranham ended comfortable winner by 22 runs.
