Stop it! Don't do it to yourself!

Derbyshire is probably the one player on the list that wouldn't get into our current side.

SKA, not a problem, just my persona, moderation is the name of the game, unless we win something someday!
thanks though

Yes SK's Lob, I got carried away, sorry. It was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek humour for our little charmer called Claretblue (sorry Roverblue) who winds me up every now and then. I know, I know I should just ignore him/her but as one of the oldest, longest suffering Rover fan on here it does p me off a little!!

Maybe I need to go away and think cricket for a few weeks, so let me tell you about that famous Lancs v Gloucestershire game at Old Trafford in 1970... I was there, as the saying goes, and it were fab too!

I saw many a fine game at the Enfield cricket ground!I once saw Mike England playing cricket there,he was a decent cricketer!What things we can recall Duggy!

Star, he we go boring all the young farts... again..!

Never saw Mike E play cricket but I heard he was good, many of them were, maybe footy players still are, unless they come from French colonies!

That Old Trafford game was everything the TV memory wagon now says it was, Mike Proctor was chucking them down that fast in the failing light we never saw the ball, just heard the thump from the bat. What was it Jackie Bond said to Sullivan near the end, "If tha can see it, hit it!" great coaching line that...

I remember Roy Gilchrist (I think he was pro for Church or Rishton...?) starting his run up from behind the sight screen at Darren's ground, he took such a long run.

tek cur all,

Duggy
