Great story that, Robin. As were the others. Just read all your posts and absolutely loved your anecdotes. I try to do the same thing that you did all your life - bowl quick and try to swing it. Still would like to believe (ambitiously, perhaps) that I have fifteen or so years left in my system!
Also am incredibly jealous of the fact that you got to see Trueman bowl live, who unfortunately hung up his boots decades before I was born. If there is
one cricketing memory I'd love to go back in time for, that would be it.
What a legend!
I think it's fair to conclude that I'll love every moment of your stay on this forum.
