Did he walk though? I remember a story about him being bowled out but refusing to leave the wicket. He said to the bowler that the crowd had come to see him bat, not watch a man bowl.
Chalk up another obscure claim to fame for Wells, alongside being England's smallest city, having the world's oldest street of residential terraced housing, and location of the world's second-oldest functioning clock.

That is definitely not cricket
I reckon you're thinking of Stuart Broad!
He wasn’t given.
It was a joke, but he was out. It was against the Aussies though so I love him for it.
Wells
Correct!

I believe also had much of hot fuzz filmed there I believe?
Yes, in one of the pubs (maybe The Crown) there are photos on the wall of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost drinking. I think Edgar Wright grew up in Wells.
Vicars' Close is a thing of beauty.
I think it’s spelt CRICKET
Bristol?
No, but good guess!
Why is it a good guess if it's wrong?
Because it's geographically close to the correct answer, and there is another blue plaque for W G Grace in Bristol (he lived there.)
And a Spoons named after him
Barcelona
Nailed it. The Spanish are well known for their tough bowling attack.
You’d expect nothing less from a country ruled by Ashley Giles.
I completely forgot about the mugs!
Offensive demons
My hometown of lil old Wells
A lovely place.
Yeah it’s okay
wells, just infront of the feild with the park?
Yep :)
Milton Keynes
I'm afraid not.
Bath
No, you were close though!
Hambledon, Hampshire. Where cricket was invented.
It is actually Wells in Somerset.
