The Hundred

I'm happy for Samit Patel. A real competitor.

I really miss the Sunday League. Cricket’s gone to shit.

I really miss the Sunday League. Cricket’s gone to s**t.

Oh now you're talking! What price a time machine to the 80's early 90's watching Maynard, Morris, Geoff Holmes, Ontong, Greg Thomas, James, Watkin, Metson, Croft and Barwick at St.Helens

The time I got Sir Vivs autograph outside St Helen's dressing room, along with Beefy and Joel Garner's is as still as fresh today as all those years ago!
Peter Denning refused to sign that day, Peter fucking Denning mind!!! :lol:

 

[dickythorpe]

Peter Denning!!! There's a blast from the past!
I'm sure Peter Roebuck refused me.
Both dead now

That'll teach them for both being miserable bàstards :lol:

I had a piss next to Bob Willis at St Helen’s. Nice chat while we were doing it too. We remained staring firmly at the wall in front of us mind as us chaps do while having a wee in a public bog.

Funnily enough, Botham nearly killed me one afternoon coming out of the bogs down by long leg, will forever remember the ball whistling passed my nose and smashing against the white wall, one shake more and I would have ended up taking a blue light taxi up A&E :lol:

Absolutely Viv!! I can die a happy man having seen him play for Glammy. Even in cricket’s heyday I was always much more of a footy fan, but Viv remains my all-time favourite sportsman. Just the sheer nonchalance and the ability to turn it on whenever he felt like it - different class. I’m wearing a ‘Master Blaster’ t-shirt as I type!

Loved the Sunday League. A whole day sat enjoying the crick - beers, good crowds and cracking atmosphere and an outcome at the end of it. Fair play to Glammy, they spread the joy too - saw games in Llanelli, Swansea, Neath...even here in Aberystwyth (they also played in Colwyn Bay, Ponty and obvs Cardiff too). T20 doesn’t appeal to me in the slightest, and The Hundred even less.

I’d add Javed Miandad to previous mentions too - excellent player.

Majid Khan had to be one of the most elegant of batsmen ever to grace St. Helens .

Javed Miandad was a bit of a hothead though .

I went to the toilet in the Black Boy when Rogers was here and yes you guessed it, he was in there :lol:

I almost ended up living next door to Javed Miandad in Treboeth, he viewed my mates house and put an offer in but it was rejected

I went to look at a house in Derwen Fawr about 36 years ago and Javed was living there at the time. Not impressed at all. With the house or him. Superb cricketer though.
