28 A Simpson. Someone who blames everyone else for their own inadequacies. Used to be known as a Dexter for those old enough to remember.
i am old enough to remember leonard hutton as captain when shrews were in 3rd div north, now that is old, he was followed by peter may, colin cowdrey now i am stumped. did lord ted follow cc
I actually got Len Hutton' s autograph when he once visited Wem. May, Cowdrey then Dexter and later again Cowdrey captained England with Tom Graveney and Brian Close among others intervening. Final day of the 1961 Ashes Test at Old Trafford, I went to watch Shropshire v Middlesex schools at London Road. We heard that there was an exciting run chase with England heading for victory spearheaded by a rapid Dexter innings. Decided we could not miss this, so headed back to watch it on the box only to find the last pair together and Richie Benaud eventually spinning the Aussies on to retain the Ashes.
whilst at school in ludlow i went on a school trip to worcester in april 1953 to watch worcester v aussies. i met peter west and brian johnson but sadly not ew swanton. peter west introduced me to gloria swanson, but i was more interested in the cricket. the aussies had a great team and we were lucky to win the ashes, or we had a great team as well. i recall the aussies had lindsay hassett, harvey, burge, keith miller, lindwall etc. happy days
Hassett was the captain in 53 and I remember watching the winning match at the Oval on the box. Saw Neil Harvey bag a pair on the same day at the Old Trafford test in 56. We were allowed to sit on the grass in those days and Keith Miller spent most of the tail end of the England innings fielding right by us. Peter Burge I encountered in Christchurch, New Zealand whilst he was a match referee. He was struggling to open the gate into the pavilion and his words to me were "Can you help a dumb Aussie?" which I was happy to do. Sadly all the names you mention are no longer with us. AJ, I am surprised that Peter West did not introduce you to his wife, Mae.
sadly no, he died only a few years back, he had a delightful cotswold cottage in the village of daglinworth not far from cirencester
