New Delhi: Cricket fans were treated to a rare sight in an under-18 cricket match between Horsham and Horley CC in England when the opening batter of the former team reached 100 while, his batting partner was still batting without scoring a single run. Opener Joe Willis scored 103 runs in the partnership of 110 runs. On the other hand, Alfred Haines wasn’t able to get off the mark during the whole time.
