COLNE'S Horsfield will play host to a clash of the two of the quickest bowlers in league cricket this afternoon after East Lancs were forced to hire a sub-pro for their Worsley Cup clash with Colne.
The Blackburn side make the trip to Colne, where they won with ease in the Lancashire League yesterday, minus Aussie bowler Nathan Rimmington, who has a hamstring injury.
Instead of the Queenslander, they will now field Barnoldswick's Pakistani professional Jaffar Nazir.
And he will pit his wits against Colne's Pakistani pace ace Anwar Ali in the first round tie.
