    John Emburey

    Graveney was dropped for 3 years, then brought back aged 35. He was then dropped for another 3 years before being brought back aged 39. He then played for another 3 years, averaging 49. Tate, Les Jackson and Freddie Brown would give the "recalled over 40" team some pace bowling.

    Weekes, Walcott or Worrell: Who was the best batsman?

    5 double centuries in a season has only been done by Bradman (6 in 1930) and Ranji otherwise (I assume no-one else has done so in the last few years).

    John Emburey

    One thing I remember noticing about Emburey's many recalls was that it was as if someone didn't want him to end his career with a fifty. - In what looked (due to the second SA ban) like being his last Test, against Australia in 1989, he scored 64. - Recalled after the ban, aged 40, he played...

    John Emburey

    The recalls for Gooch and Illingworth (after the age of 40) were a bit different from those of the others listed; they each opted out of a winter tour and returned to the side the following summer. Illingworth didn't even lose the captaincy.

    John Emburey

    While Emburey was recalled in 1995, it wasn't his first Test after the second ban - he played a Test each against India, Sri Lanka and Australia in 1993.

    To save the Follow On

    The side batting second can be made to follow on only if they're 200+ runs behind in the 1st innings. So England saved the follow on when they reached 165 runs. Or to quote law 14.1.1: "In a two-innings match of 5 days or more, the side which bats first and leads by at least 200 runs shall have...
