Longstaff bowled right-arm medium-pace for their first XI against Felling CC – and got a batter out LBW.
Tynemouth went on to win the match – scoring 210 in the first innings and Felling CC were bowled out for just 71.
Longstaff’s wicket did the rounds on social media – leaving fans calling for him to play for England against India next week.
One said: “Free for Lords next week?”
Another added: “Worthy of an England call up”
One joked: “Any chance he’s free for a trip to Lords next week?”
Another said: “Better than our current bowlers.”
Longstaff is listed as a bowler on Tynemouth’s website and he has made four appearances for the first XI this season.
