Name the 1987 Coventry cup winner who also played minor counties cricket for Shropshire and also the full Minor Counties side

I've just finished reading Scott Oliver's brilliant 'Sticky Dogs And Stardust' - a book about some of the cricketing superstars who have appeared in local league cricket (most at the beginning of their careers ie Gilchrist, Kallis, Walsh, Warne, some at the end ie Greenidge, Marshall and some at their peak Sobers).

So anyway Oggy gets a brief mention in the chapter dedicated to KP's time at Cannock in 2000 when, whilst playing for Coventry & Nth Warwicks, he catches Mr Modest at first slip off the bowling of TMS's Charles Dagnell who finishes with 8/51.

This chapter is one of the best two in the book imho (the other being the one about Courtney Walsh terrorising the opposition for Tynedale in 1983) as it shows Pietersen to be an absolute....well you can guess!

It's worth checking on Cricinfo Oggy's List A record in 83 & 84, Some big scalps against star studded teams .. Played for the full Minor Counties team alongside Durham legend Neil Riddell

Hi

Wrong thread

Sorry captain

Parkside has mentioned an article in The Cricketer magazine which suggests Scott Boland only wants a short spell at Durham to be ready for the WTC whereas Durham want him for longer.

This could drag on but as Parkside suggests, I agree we may be better off looking at other options.

I'm sure he got his P45 after the 2024 season Said the pressure of match threads, Trapdoor maintenance supervisor, Members teabar diplomat , Ropery Lane updates , 78 bus information, 2nd XL correspondant and the Steve Greensword fan club president has taken its toll and will be here in an advisory position

As I said to him at the time when he tried to step down - WE decide when his time is up, not him.

Too true Marra Squad's a bit threadbare with Carty AWOL and Muchy quiet. Hopefully everyone turns up for preseason nets at Meadowfield Sports Centre otherwise the LMC CC will not be able to fulfill their fixture list

Basically because I've got more things to do than begin a non First Class match thread a full five weeks before it's due to start on a forum that may not even exist by the time the game commences.
