Former England women's cricketer Arran Brindle said she was as "proud as punch" of her son after the pair shared a match-winning century stand in a club game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brindle made 134 international appearances for England from 1999-2014, with the 39-year-old scoring unbeaten hundreds in both Test and one-day international formats.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
But on Sunday, a player shortage meant she found herself playing for Owmby Trojans -- a team she coaches -- in the third division of the Lincoln and District League in central England.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
They dismissed their opponents, Nettleham CC's Academy XI, for 141, with Harry Brindle, Arran's 12-year-old son, taking four wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The mother and son duo then combined to chase down Nettleham's score, sharing an opening stand of 143 in 32.3 overs to secure a 10-wicket win. Harry scored an unbeaten 32 while his mum finished 94 not out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"In terms of any experience like that as a parent, you're as proud as punch," Brindle told Britain's PA news agency.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"Because they've achieved something -- sometimes they put too much expectation on themselves. As a parent, whether you're a mum or a dad, you just want your children to be happy with what they're doing. At the minute he seems to enjoy it."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brindle, asked if Harry had enjoyed batting with his mother, replied: "I think so, he came off and he had a big smile on his face. He did what he needed to do -- we rotated the strike (and) he was able to put away the bad balls at the start."<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2021\/05\/arran-brindle-proud-as-punch-to-share-a-century-stand-with-her-son.jpg", "alt_img": "Cricket Image for Arran Brindle 'Proud As Punch' To Share A Century Stand With Her Son", "alt_title": "Arran Brindle and her son", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "Arran Brindle 'Proud As Punch' To Share A Century Stand With Her Son | Cricketnmore.com", "seo_desc": "Former England women's cricketer Arran Brindle said she was as \"proud as punch\" of her son after the pair shared a century stand.", "seo_keywords": "Arran Brindle", "tag": "", "tagging": "Arran Brindle,", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": "0", "slug": "arran-brindle-proud-as-punch-to-share-a-century-stand-with-her-son", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": "0000-00-00", "ians_time": "00:00:00", "server_time": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "trash": "0", "view_count": "2008", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2021-05-25 11:09:39", "updated": "2021-05-25 11:10:17", "img_from": "Image Source: Google", "img_source": "", "schedule_publish": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "news_keywords": "Arran Brindle, Mother Son Partnership, Mother Son Cricket, Cricket", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "21", "jio_date": "2021-05-25 11:09:39", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": "2021-05-25 11:09:39", "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/arran-brindle-proud-as-punch-to-share-a-century-stand-with-her-son-76726" }
