CD Review: The Duckworth Lewis Method - Sticky Wickets | Music | Entertainment | Daily Express
A WELCOME return to the crease for Neil Hannon, late of The Divine Comedy, and Thomas Walsh, with a second album of songs loosely hung around cricketing lore, legends or sometimes, as on the glorious Out In The Middle, merely phrases associated with the sport.

Album: The Duckworth Lewis Method, Sticky Wickets, Divine Comedy Records
Never mind the googlies.

28/06/2013, The Duckworth Lewis Method - Sticky Wickets

The Duckworth Lewis Method - Sticky Wickets
