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
