Not a bad list that Monk - bit Aussie based but heyHey people
From Australia, new to this forum, but it seems like a good one to have stumbled in to.
Love cricket, and love cricket history. I read a lot of books on cricket, and enjoy discussing/debating the merits of players!
Favourite former players are Stan McCabe, Archie Jackson, Doug Walters, Keith Miller, Neil Harvey and Mark Waugh.
Wow, what an amazing experience. Did they tell you any tales? I really hope I run into Harvey, Morris or Davidson (they are only a few) before their times are up, but I have no idea how it would happen. It'd be great to interview them too (I am studying journalism).Not a bad list that Monk - bit Aussie based but hey
I actually had the pleasure of meeting Neil Harvey at the Kennington Oval c1980 (Old England v Old Aus match). he invited myself and a friend into the changing room to meet Ray Lindwall. Utter gents the pair of them.
Welcome to the madhouse.
We were just standing outside the Away dressing room when Neil came to the door. He gave us his autograph and we chatted for a couple of minutes and the he said "Ray's in here, d'you want to come in and meet Ray?"Wow, what an amazing experience. Did they tell you any tales?

I'm sure Ray would have appreciated your adviceWe were just standing outside the Away dressing room when Neil came to the door. He gave us his autograph and we chatted for a couple of minutes and the he said "Ray's in here, d'you want to come in and meet Ray?"
Silly question.
Ray was just out of the shower but we sat there for about half an hour (before WE had to go) just chatting away like old pals. I gave Ray Lindwall some advice on bowling the outswinger() but I don't recall any stories (it was a long time ago) but just a great general cricket chat.
The next year it was Old Rest of the World and Gary Sobers came to the door. Unfortunately, despite us being very polite he was very rude.
A few years ago a friend of mine ran into Dennis Lillee and sat and chatted with him for a whiile. Said he was a really good bloke.
He appeared to.I'm sure Ray would have appreciated your advice
You see Harvey on quite a few DVDs on cricket history and he has a really clear and concise way of remembering players and the game's history. Seems like a really nice bloke too.Not a bad list that Monk - bit Aussie based but hey
