Celebrity appearance - II

Last year we were delighted to have a bowling challenge entry from the one and only Steve Harmison.

Well, this week we were surprised (if a little bemused) to get the following entry from telly's Graham Norton. The more the merrier, I say.

Right then Graham, show us what you're made of.

Aussie challengers

Just as we were getting worried that Harmison's woeful entry might have scared away serious contenders, these beauties arrived in the Cow Corner inbox. All the way from Australia! Some good efforts, I'm sure you'll agree, but brace yourselves to behold the wonder of "Stevo."

First up Dave:


Jess - we thought you'd managed it. For a moment there we really thought we were going to have to send shoe whitener all the way round the world!? Nice try.


A noble effort from Nat.


But Stevo, Stevo, Stevo, Stevo... Good god man! This has got to be our favourite so far.


Don't worry - there's still plenty of shoe whitener. Will we have a winner before we sell it off?

Bowling challenge - celebrity appearance!

The kack-handed bowling challenge gathers pace.

Perhaps it is because we improved the prize at stake, I don't know. Anyway, we are delighted to have received a video from the one and only ... Steve Harmison. Good on him. It's not the best of efforts, but it's all about taking part. We might send him some shoe whitener anyway.

Bowling challenge - exciting new Christmas prize

As it's Christmas, we've decided to improve the prize on offer for anyone talented enough to match Cow Corner's "BOWLING CHALLENGE" (see the videos posted last week).

There'll now be a tube of shoe whitener for the lucky winner. So pick up the ball in your "wrong" hand and get bowling...

Kack-Handed Bowling: the great £1 challenge

Pre-season training, hey? What better time to launch Cow Corner's legendary £1 Kack-Handed Bowling Challenge? The princely sum of £1 will go to the first kack-handed bowler to hit the stumps.

COW had the camera running, but unfortunately the batteries ran out after only 5 attempts. Other Kirk Brae challengers will have to wait. Saturday's efforts were mostly pitiful and more dedication is clearly needed.

First up, setting the bar at a very low level - me:




Azzy had one of the better attempts, showing that Kirk Brae's junior policy is already paying dividends:




Steve Colvinates those stumps big time:




Ben shows us how it is done:




And, last but not least - Ross,
who (like the rest of us) turned out to be all talk and no trousers on this occasion:
