Question
He (the person at the centre of this question) was a friend of a controversial early 20th century Author who was much publicised, famous for several works including "Brideshead revisited ", and controversial with regard to his ***uality as well !!
This Author (at the centre of this question) published a Famous book about his Friendship with the above famous and controversial Writer, as well as several other books.
But One of his works is a famous Cricket Book on domestic Cricket in England .
The Question is who is he ? What's the name of the Cricket Book ? Who is his famous friend, who incidentally has the same surname as that of a recently retired famous cricketer ?

No sign of Burkey? So I had better go! Lets have an easy one while all the regulars are off line (well sort of)JASON said:I was only kidding Archie !!
You or Burkey can ask next one !! I'm off !!
Which two fast bowlers from the 40s and 50s, always greeted each other as 'Jackson'?
they are both Aussies and one is often mentioned as one of the best A/R in post war Cricket.
Bonus point if you can tell me why?

No they were just before him, though they did play with him, he was relegated to a change bowler.

Yes that's it. Apparently they heard black servicemen refer to each other as Jackson, not sure why they took it up though.SJS said:

What was unusual about the dismissal of Fuller Pilch, in the match between Gentlemen and Players at Lord's in July 1837?
