flung

A 3-1 win against the odds, ball boys flung around in celebration and Dunc pumping his fist to the crowd, just like old times.

In 2003, Boston’s Pedro Martinez flung Yankees coach Don Zimmer to the ground, two Yankees players jousted with a Fenway Park groundskeeper, Boston manager Grady Little left Martinez in the decisive game too long, and the Yankees won on a walkoff home run by third baseman Aaron Boone.

He not only scored the winner but flung himself in front of Cole Palmer when Chelsea's in-form talisman looked poised to strike.

Although a departure from the norm, it meant that for the first time in years former group members who had left South Yorkshire for new climes as far flung as Australia, Canada and East Sussex could properly catch up with their old pals on a regular basis.

The Durham pair added 37 from 31 balls before Stokes charged at Noman, comically flung his bat into the leg side and was left on all fours as wicketkeeper Muhammad Rizwan removed the bails.
