    Always liked them but didn’t realise they had a stand named after them.

    more likely the concussion causing a big misjudgment, i'd say. he'd come back on and hit 3 fours off 8 deliveries. he was only 8 runs off another hundred and could have got there in a few minutes.

    i like them, but they've done some horrendous covers of buddy holly songs. treated them absurdly reverentially instead of playing them like good r'n'r songs.

    Despite their name the only Buddy Holly number I can recall them covering was Take Your Time.

    I've just watched the highlights of the last day, really edge of the seat stuff. Hopefully, Archer keeps fully fit we can still win the Ashes, though the margin of error is small, basically the Aussies can't win another test, if they do then they retain the Ashes. It should be very interesting at Headingley come Thursday.

    I would say more than a tad, that will be a blow for Aussie moral and a boost for Englands. However, England now has to stop the Aussies winning a test, because if they win one, then they retain the Ashes. Tough job for England over 3 more tests.

    Be it at headingley I suspect Mr Root will be trying extra hard .. although Roy hasn't looked up to test cricket as opener I do think (more in hope tbh) he is due one. If we can get a score out of the top 4 first innings then we will probably win this one .. however I think Smith will more than likely be back for the 4th test so god help us lol.

    there was a much later one - maybe 15-20 years back - that wogan kept playing. can't remember which one as i've (mercifully) blocked it from my mind.

    Didn’t they do an album of Holly covers? I’m sure my old Dad had it.

    Was a big Hollies fan, saw them in 1965 and they were one of the best live acts at reproducing the sound of their records I have seen, but can’t remember an album of Buddy Holly covers, though I can remember one of Bob Dylan covers. Which doesn’t mean there was one of course.
    One of those bands whose records still stand up well over 50 years later.

    The Hollies normally were very good at everything they did. That one must have been an aberration.

    Just looked up their discography. They did indeed do an album of Holly covers in 1974. Which will be I didn’t notice it. That was the year I got married. Must have been stumbling about in a haze of depression.
