Great collection/mailday as always Nath! The Brian Taber one reminded me of how sport can develop lifelong mateships. I heard Ian Chappell interviewed about a year or so ago and he said that he doesn't live that far from "Tabsy" and they had recently played billiards together!

 

[cricketmad01]

Today I got the last of the test players I sent to in the last lot. 18/18

Bruce Francis

 

[cricketmad01]
