Our 2nd eleven captain Phil Brooks declaring whilst I was on 98*. What a nice chap! Doing my back in during a 20/20 match and getting into an ambulance whilst Sealey was making a picture portfolio of it on his camera.

Muzza telling me about getting 200 against a special needs team. Biffo dropping a catch at mid-off and blaming Dean Skipper for being in his eye-line at fine leg 70 yards away. Pat Sweeney and his school of umpiring.

Getting Dev Ghandi out with a ball he had never faced before – a rank long hop. 12 ball 50 on Bournemouth tour

Zoo, Racing Post, The Sun

People who talk a good game. The 4 o’clock tea thieves. Pushing out sight-screens
