Narborough Cricket Club has been declared the 'greatest in world cricket' by no less an authority than Andy Zaltzman, the UK's leading stand-up comedian/cricket fanatic/political satirist/hair model, writes Club Social Media Correspondent, Miles Snapchat-Tweet.

Zaltzman, who is in the top five funniest people in the world, along with John Oliver, Louis CK, Tina Fey, and Hammy, made possibly the most unexpected declaration since Hanse Cronje for SA against England (Not, we hasten to add, for a cash bung) while making one of his famous live Twitter match reports on the crunch England v Scotland world cup ODI.

A club insider commented, 'We are delighted to accept Andy's statement as 100 per cent fact.'

Here's that Twitter exchange in full:
