The Beefster. Won games with bat, ball, force of personality, etc. Safe pair of hands. Born in the North, too.


Hutton, despite being a frenchman, comes close, though, because his son didn't play for Wigan.
Not just the North, but Wirral :)

Goochie just avoids a whitewash, but Laker spins his way to a 9-1 win.

Next up, a stiff draw for England's champion stumper v the good doctor:

Doctor Who > Doctor Grace.

Never realised Ames had such a good record with the bat. Some thought will go into this one...
