Doncaster boss in ridiculous Leeds claim

Leeds United's crucial midweek victory over promotion rivals Doncaster Rovers at the Keepmoat stadium has certainly left a sour taste in the mouths of the South Yorkshire upstarts.

After seeing his self-proclaimed 'best footballing side in the division' receive what could be a knock-out blow to their automatic promotion hopes, Rovers boss Sean O'Driscoll was of the opinion that '...we could have won by a cricket score.' A close look at the statistics for the game show that his side managed just eight attempts on target, hardly an amount for a top three side playing at home to be overjoyed about.

The Whites themselves were on target with six attempts, just two behind their opponents, leaving bemused supporters to wonder how indeed a 'cricket score' could have been achieved. Precisely how many cricket sides have ended an innings without obtaining double figures is unclear, as is the Rovers boss's knowledge of the Summer sport.

Unfortunately with the eight on-target attempts failing to yield a 'cricket score' O'Driscoll was left to bemoan a failed penalty appeal after Steve Roberts went down in the box. Alas it was not to be, and the only cricket score that materialised for Doncaster Rovers on the evening was a duck.
