Over the years, I've been asked many times about my views on cricket, and to my embarrassment, I have to confess that as a child, I was more of a football fan (Norwich City FC).
However, over the last two decades and working with 100s of Indian colleagues, many of which have become friends, I have grown to appreciate cricket more. The passion for cricket in India is incredible, I was fortunate enough to watch a good portion of the 2019 World Cup in Chennai.
In recent years when asked about cricket, I have been bolstering my apologetic defence that Norfolk wasn't a strong cricket county; with that, in my extended family, there are some fine young players.
To the joy and pride of all the family, last month, my nephew Tom Price became a cricket legend with a new record for the greatest day of first-class cricket ever, according to Wisden!!
There was a scramble to work out where Price’s achievement ranked. It transpired that there had been 17 instances of a player making a century and taking a hat-trick in the same first-class game – but Price was the only one to make the entirety of his century and take the entirety of his hat-trick on the same day. Bangladesh’s Mahmudullah came closest, but his hat-trick for Central Zone against North Zone in 2014 began in the first innings and ended in the second. Notably, Kent’s Joe Denly took a century and a hat-trick in the same T20. https://wisden.com/stories/county-cricket/county-championship-2023-county-cricket/gloucestershires-tom-price-has-just-had-a-day-of-glory-never-matched-in-cricket-history
While from a genealogy standpoint, your cousin's child is your first cousin once removed, but the common name to call them is niece or nephew. https://www.famlii.com/what-call-cousins-child-family-relation/
