Move over Broad

Flax Bourton CC have just signed an exciting new player at the tail end of the season. Phillips joined the club after a 4 year break from the crease; our research team can exclusively reveal what this mystery player has been doing in his break from a stunning career. Phillips has been hidden in the obscure sport of weight lifting, achieving South West Champion status before attempting a surrepticious return to the bat.
Unfortunately for England selectors, Phillips has already rejected offers to play at the upcoming Ashes and has publically stated he will not return to International Cricket.
In a friendly this afternoon against Brislington 3rd team, Phillips dazzled the cheering crowds with a 6 that was lost in a neighbouring field and even managed a few 4's, which was nothing short of a miracle considering the outer-circle at the team's home ground had not been mown in weeks due to the lawn mower being broken.
A spectator said they had spoken to Phillips and found him to be enjoying the lower-level at village cricket level: "Bell is mad, jumping for a catch and breaking his foot. He should try fielding at Flax Bourton - much more relaxed"
