Headliners CC snubbed by young Indian superstars! No one shocked!
There was widespread acceptance and an astonishing lack of surprise in the world of cricket today when HCC's approach to schoolboys Shahbaz Tumbi and Manoj Kumar was summarily ignored by the pair's families.
The dynamic openers broke the world record for a first-stand partership when they crashed 721 runs in just 40 overs in an Under-13s school match in Secunderabad, southern India on Wednesday.

Tumbi spanked 324 not out (116 balls/57 boundaries)
Kumar could only muster 320 not out (127 balls/40 boundaries).
There were 77 extras and then their opponents were skittled for, um, 21!
Headliners CC, once dismissed for a grand total of 5 by an American Express XI made an immediate swoop for the pair. Their dads said: "No."
We are now £16.78 out of pocket as a result of peak time international telephone charges. Subs may have to go up. The good news is Statto is still available to open for HCC.
