We had one Brett Ormerod in fact I think we may have been looking at Zamora at the time as he was at Brighton

Where was MCJ I was away on holiday so did not follow the match The best Knock out match I saw was http://acscricket.com/Archive/Scorecards/37/37131.html Jesty hit one over for 20 Got a frre ticket used my company car met some Glamorgan members who took me to lunch would not accept me buying them beer So the whole day cost me 25p for the Severn Bridge The semi final was a huge disappointment http://www.cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/37/37198.html but the Proctor Hatrick was someting to remember

It was a no-ball. We were stood next to the sightscreen at the Nursery End (which you could in those days) heard the call and legged it. When I got my photos back I hadn't got Nicholas lifting the cup as some Skate cvnt had his arm up in the way. Why aren't they in Sussex. Yep really enjoyed the pitch invasion from Compton Lower in '91, quite a few Saints fans on the pitch then. Really hoping for the right result on Saturday, and a bit of sunshine would be nice... Like you, been to all 5 and was also at the 88 semi final at Chelmsford both days. One almighty **** up with both teams (except Gooch and Fletcher) in a pub near the ground after rain had cut short our innings. Kevin James told us their hotel was £20 and we followed them all the way back to the Post House at Brentwood where us mortals were faced with a bill for £80 a room. A quick phone call to a mate in Leyton and 5 of us including my Dad and the pregnant wife who was driving and we were kipping on floors and sofas. The next day we drove back to Chelmsford in the rain and had to wait till 3pm to start. When Judge hit the winning runs there was a crowd of about 30 of which 20 were Hants fans and a comittee member cracked open a bottle of champagne. Went to every Semi Final before the 1988 one which I missed. Got to Lords late for 1988 BH only to we had won by 11.20 Remember seeing Devon Malcolm for the first time and a stunning catch to get rid of Robin

No not in that game at Richmond I think he may have played early in the season
-
I was listening to Ian Chappell on TMS and he suggested that we should change the No 3 he was not being biased in anyway
-
I sell books these days and recently sold John Buckingham's Autobiography the jockey of Foinavon
-
Still makes me laugh every time I see it
-
I know but he was not that successful really. I am still looking for an England No 3 Discarded Bopara Bell Joyce Ramps

Sorry I thought it was Thomas/Richards http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-90150594.html

Dont mention that Horse as I had backed Honey End and Josh Gifford that day
-
What about Arkle brilliant Horse So was Nijinsky and Lester In athletis Bob Beamon jumped a huge distane over 29 feet I think in 1968 Olympics

My favorite happened 1986 in West Indies GREG THOMAS TO VIV RICHARDS (AFTER BEATING HIM FIVE TIMES ON THE TROT) You seem to have trouble locating the ball. Let me help you - it's red and looks like this VIV TO GREG (AFTER BELTING HIM OUT OF THE GROUND NEXT BALL FOR SIX) You know what it looks like, you go and fetch it

Clark is an excellent batsman I wish he could play for us
-
I think Strauss made the correct decision but should have batted a further 15 overs as discussed earlier It was possible but highly unlikely for Australia to get the runs in six sessions
-
Sir Roger Bannister breaking the 4 minute mile
-
So what is your point
-
Well if he wants away he should play better
-
The academy has produced good players surely Bale Walcott McGoldrick Cranie Mills James Surman Poke Howard Davies Baird Blackstock prove that
-
Thats the word I have been looking for awareness The team last season lacked awareness completely
-
If you are still unwell and have nothing better to do perhaps you could find him some suitable properties for him What areas would you like him to live in so he can snoop on the players Perhaps Chilworth as I saw Claus at the Clump/Chilworth Arms as it served a nice pint of London Pride when I was last there
-
I think it depends a lot on family circumstances to some extent I would have thought if his children are in the important stages of their education I would not expect him to move but if not he probably will. I dont think where he lives at the moment matters a toss what matters is him getting the team sorted out for the new season and a getting a good group of coaches in place. I notice he is first team manager who now is in charge of the Academy?
-
Deciding on the players he wants to keep and bringing in new players
-
Have a good time I think the time you are on holiday is going to be very important getting in new players and trying to get the team to gel If we do not starting winning quickly things will not be looking good
