No.archie mac said:Ian Botham?
No But I posted the question because he was on line at that time !!burkey_1988 said:Is the author by any chance our Somerset ???
Harold Gimblett by David Foot. A great book, although I prefered his one on HammondJASON said:The book was about his Tormented hero who made a dream FC debut , Was famed for his lusty hitting, but only played 3 test matches despite this !!
He was plagued by Mental illness and committed Suicide !!
The passionate Fan's biography was about the tormented life of his hero !!
To make it easier let me add he made his Test debut in 1936.
Correct ! The bloody easy clue was meant for Burkey because he made a point of the question being tailor made for you.archie mac said:Harold Gimblett by David Foot. A great book, although I prefered his one on Hammond

Haha. Although I'd have to rate James Franklin's hat trick against Bangladesh to be up there with it - Islam Rana, Rafique, Baisya...JASON said:May I suggest that Mohammed Sami's hat trick of dismissing TCB (Charitha buddhika) Fernando, Nuwan Zoysa and Murali must be the cheapest Test Hat trick !!
