In more recent times, the Wirral team became viral for their incredible performances that saw them score three runs against Haslington in the Cheshire League Division Three fixture. At one point of time, the Wirral team were down six wickets with no score to show for, only when the eleventh batsman scored one run to open his innings. The other two runs came as leg byes.

This performance was dubbed as a ‘freak performance’ as only one player in the whole team managed to score a solitary run. The Wirral team’s twitter handle tweeted “1st XI lost by 105 runs today... Sadly the opposition only scored 108!”

Wirral’s skipper Pete Clewes said: “It was just a freak performance.” He added: ““We bowled well. We fielded well. We bowled them out for 108, and we were feeling perfectly confident when we went into bat, but for some reason we all just batted atrociously. It was extraordinary.”

He added: “Everyone just panicked as the wickets fell. It just got worse and worse,” added the 43-year-old computer programmer from Chester.”

Such was the performance of the young lads that celebrities and well known Arsenal supported Piers Morgan was asked whether he would like to play, to which he replied: "Sorry lads, my form's too good." That’ some funny banter by the Englishman!
