SOMEWHERE not too far from Wootton Bassett there could be a cricket pitch with 22 players ready to play up and play the game, but no equipment to play with.

On Tuesday morning a blue holdall was found near the Tinkers Lane surgery, containing a bat, two balls, a set of stumps and some pads.

A police spokesman said: "Anyone who has genuinely lost their cricket kit at that location should please make contact so that they can again partake in their favourite pastime."

The number to call is 01793 852213.
