Totally agree 100%. When the test matches were on BBC in the school hols with Tony Lewis, Richie Benaud Ray Illingworth and I can’t remember the last commentators name, I used to watch all 5 tests for all 5 days and the only time I went outside was in the lunch and tea breaks to play out the morning and afternoon sessions with my mates and as soon as play resumed I was back inside watching until play finished at 6pm and then it was a quick tea before we were out again recreating the days play. Great times and cricket was truly brilliant back in the day and the main reason I fell in love with it and was pretty decent at it.

John Arlott?
Jim Laker?

That was a great win for Gloucester
They sure played better than Lanky
My Wife's from Gloucester and she's been going barmy, lol

I really thought Birmingham would walk it, after the relatively low score by Gloucestershire, but Glos. bowled very well.

Who remembers when the roses battle being shown live on Granada? Or am I showing my age :). Ahhh the B&H & NatWest Cups bloody brilliant and Lancs were always there or thereabouts in them.

If Jimmy was still playing we could do worse than declare and watch him get 7 for 10 in these conditions.
