Luke Fletcher: Last News

A BBC true crime documentary from 2018 has shot to the top of the Netflix charts in the UK.

Early success with the ball preceded Dawid Malan’s imperious match-clinching 88 not out as Trent Rockets continued their winning start to the men’s Hundred at the expense of the Northern Superchargers at Headingley.

Notts Outlaws lost by 47 runs against Leicestershire Foxes at Trent Bridge on Tuesday (June 21) night, their third T20 defeat in a row at Trent Bridge on a night to forget. Foxes captain Colin Ackermann won the toss and decided to bat first.

Lancashire ended a run of nine consecutive Trent Bridge defeats against Nottinghamshire in emphatic style with an 87-run victory in the Vitality Blast.

Notts Outlaws completely collapsed in reply to a strong Lancashire Lightning total on a night to forget for the home side at Trent Bridge. Captain Dan Christian put Lancashire Lightning in to bat in the Vitality Blast clash on Tuesday evening, who scored 178/7 off their 20 overs, as Keaton Jennings top scored with 55 and Dane Paterson, Jake Ball and Luke Fletcher each picked up two wickets.

Notts Outlaws won on their return to T20 Blast action at Trent Bridge on Friday (May 27) night against Worcestershire Rapids. The Outlaws won the toss and put the Rapids in to bat, who scored 162/9 off their 20 overs, with Colin Munro top scoring with 66 for the visitors as Luke Fletcher picked up T20 career best bowling figures of 5/32 and was named player of the match.

There are certain moments in the game of cricket that tend to surprise even the most experienced of players who have themselves seen almost everything the sport has to offer. One such instance occurred when veteran Nottinghamshire player Luke Fletcher surprised even himself with a direct throw at the stumps which effected a crucial run out off Stuart Broad's bowling. The batter who got run out was Middlesex's Josh De Caires. The batter at the other end - Mark Stoneman - had played five consecutive dot balls as Stuart Broad created pressure. So, when Stoneman sensed an opportunity to take a single he went for it as he nudged a delivery directed on his pads on the leg-side inside the circle. However, the 33-year-old Luke defied the age barrier and pounced on the ball to inflict an epic run out.
