Excellent declaration. Should always put the team's position ahead of individual achievements. ========= Still don't agree with you Mr Abrahams. Kind Regards. Mr & Mrs Fairbrother. |

Not sure that is relevant, but yes from time to time, like most of the regular posters on here, we all received an invitation to join when it was set up.
In terms of that incident, Jack Simmons was batting at the other end. Here he confirms Willis turned and walked off, leaving the batsmen in the middle for a while:

I didn't write that article.
It is only half the story, of course, but the bit I remember.
The declaration is also mentioned in Wisden and in Abrahams benefit brochure.

Right i'm off to look in my Spam folders. Or was the invitation sent via Royal Mail, cos they are a bit slow round 'ere
Thanks for the link though, interesting read, always liked Flat Jack. |

The only two scores of 350+ this century in the County Championship were made against Leicestershire.
Who made the other one ?

Sorry, mind on other things this am, before driving a 250 mile round trip to Merseyside. Reading it quickly it seemed you were questioning the earlier post as if it were simply a rumour on a forum. Click on members, then date registered to sort by date joined and you will recognise a fair few names from previous forum although not many lasted the 4+ years. A lot joined in that first week. |

Right this thread seems to be going into small details of what was posted or note posted on a previous forum therefore under Admin privilege it is going to be locked OK
