Thanks for the compliment mate but all the info comes from Web search especially the England Players site.BoyBrumby said:Give that man a prize! That's the one.
"Big" Les was a centre-half stopper for T'Gooners in the 30s, 40s & 50s (when not playing for Middlesex) in the mould of a Martin Keown.
Over to you...
Question -
He was unique in his own playing career, but he also played in a unique Test against a Team containing two of his brothers and one cousin.
I am not very sure about the authenticity of the quote in this question, but here it goes :
The team that he was captaining was one down in the series going into the third match, and he was criciticised in the media for not taking enough interest in the team's affairs. So in the team meeting before the match he declared, 'If I have to win this game all on my own, I'll do it'.
He was dismissed first ball in the first innings, and his team conceded a 100+ lead. Then in the second innings he played an innings that is regarded as one among 4-5 of the greatest innings since the war.
His team went on to win the series 2-1.
Which innings are we talking about ? [No points for naming the cricketer, I won't even say whether you are right or wrong about it].
