The OBA is shocked and greatly saddened by the sudden death of yet another O.B. in such appalling circumstances.

Needless to say the thoughts of the OBA President, Committee and Members are with the family of Myo Min Thuang - to whom we send our sincere condolences.

Many years ago I had my first experience of Old Brightonian cricket. As was often the case in those days, and indeed, some things never change, the Old Brightonians were one short and I was asked to make up the numbers. The ball was regularly despatched to the boundary by the Tonbridge batsmen and after a while I became conscious of a sound not unlike the bark of a momentarily stimulated dog. I quickly identified the source of this sound, a slightly stooping figure patrolling the boundary with, what looked like, scarcely controlled irritation. The sound I identified as the word "crack" and later I realised that this was uttered, quite arbitrarily, when either side hit a boundary.
