Oh and Botham was also playing. What an introduction to test cricket!

He played in the first test I ever went to see: England v WI @ the oval 1991. I saw WI follow on for the first time against England in years, Tuffnel get 6-25 and dear Syd Lawrence running in like a steam locomotive from
Vauxhall Rd end. Not to mention it was Viv Richard’s’ last test…

Remember the old days WG when you could set your clock by the cricket: Thurs, Fri, Saturday county match. Sunday was the old 40 over Sunday league and Monday was the last day of the championship match. Simpler times.

Congratulations Alan. Looking forward to reading this very much. Is this the successor to the excellent Britain at Bay?

Can I also recommend ‘The King is Dead’ by a certain S Lipscomb of this parish for that time in your literary timeline when old Henry shuffles off this mortal coil
