One of a vicar in conversation with an elderly man, ‘I don’t think your prayers could be answered in time vicar at 34 for 8’, 5”x6.5”. Another vicar dressed in church robes with batting attire underneath, ‘The vicar loves his Sunday cricket but just wishes that he didn’t have to open the innings’, 3.5”x5.5”. A man walking his dog in conversation with a cricketer standing in long grass, ‘I know they said very deep fine-leg and don’t move, but that was two months ago’, 4”x5”.
