He's another canute - another progessional Yarkshireman! Can't stand the bastard!

How about Harold Bird?

Ah, now he could be my third exception. I remember watching a test match at Lords I think (via the lounge tv, of course!) and I remember the crowd giving him a hard time when he came off for bad light! Fuckin' broad daylight on our telly!

Parky’s alright!

Er; no. That emu should have finished him off all those years ago.

He took the players off at OT because it was too sunny too.

Has he not persuaded you to get over 55 life insurance?

You'd get a free Parker pen, just for applying.

I was at that game! VS West Indies on the first day in 95. It was a baking hot day and I seem to remember the sun was bouncing off some windows at The Brian Statham end right in the batsmen eyes end so dickie bird took they off for about 20 mins

Yeah, there were some greenhouses next to the ground, randomly.

I't’d be the Warwick Road end back then wouldn't it, although the pitches have been rotated too.

I remember that happening.

I also remember him remonstrating with a spectator in Ambrose' day when a drain blocked and water was coming up through the ground on the run-up. "Dickie, we've got a big problem."

He can be heard replying to the spectator "It's not my fault is it, water's coming up from the ground"

Can't remember where it was as it was 27 years ago! but I've found the highlights on YouTube. From 9.40

There's another Yorkshireman with a sense of humour…
