Cricket 'history' as family make up whole team

A family from East Sussex is thought to have made cricketing history, by fielding a team made up entirely of a single family.

The Keeling family all lined up in the same cricket team for their annual match against Sedlescombe. Four brothers and seven sons took to the field, as they won, with 10 overs to spare.

In previous years they have come close to breaking the record, by fielding 10 Keelings but unfortunately for them, a distant cousin had to fill the final spot.

Paul Keeling who captained the side told 5 live’s Adrian Chiles, that his team has a wide range of abilities.

“We have fairly wide range of players, to play a decent game of cricket, you need good bowlers.”
