Another one of the long list of rejected England opening batsmenAddick Addict said:143-3

A 4th catch to Robbo - again off Milnes - with Lyth out for 97

I hate to say it but the team actually contains six players who played test cricket for England. The obvious five (Luckhurst, Denness, Cowdrey, Knott and Underwood), plus Alan Ealham. Sure, he was never capped, nor did he bat or bowl, but he did field as a substitute at Lords against Australia in 1977 (I think that was the year?).Addick Addict said:

Too cold for cricket!
Our team that contained no less than five players who would play Test cricket for England, two West Indian internationals, a South African born Charlton footballer and one of the best fielders ever to represent us in the "shape" of Alan Ealham:
Luckhurst
Denness
Cowdrey
Ealham
Knott
Leary
Shepherd
Julien
Underwood
Graham
Dye
Deadly Derek Underwood's figures in the first innings were 21-10-28-7
I toured with three of those players too (Denness, Underwood and Graham), and each were an absolute delight to be around.2 -
200-40

Lillie caught at silly by Willie off Dilly.
Just made that up.
Taxi for SoundAs.🚕7 -
An LBW to Cummins
220-50 -
Know that team well with the exception of Dye? Replace him with Norman Graham and I remember the full set.Pedro45 said:

John Dye was a blond fast bowler who had a (very) long curved run in (similar to John Price of Middlesex).0 -
Bob Woolmer came in for John Dye the following season - batted at 8 initially (as opposed to Dye's 10) but, of course, went on to become a true all rounder. Asif Iqbal replaced Leary in the side and the likes of Graham Johnson and David Nicholls featured too.Pedro45 said:

What does everyone think about the Hundred? I am quite happy with the Twenty20 format and don't see the need for another version. It is only 20 deliveries i.e. a sixth less and I don't like the reported changes to terms and no LBW. Also, the way the teams are made up, Kent players are in 2 different sides so split loyalty.1

It's a money making exercise for the ECB that they are hoping will encourage kids to take up cricket. It's not cricket though.PrincessFiona said:What does everyone think about the Hundred?

It's pap. Totally unnecessary IMO, and a complete waste of the ECB's time and money. They feel the need to compete with the IPL, but the Vitality Blast is a big-time loser to the Indian and Aussie T20 competitions. So some OxBridge marketing bods dream something up without any respect to cricket's legacy, and spunk a huge sponsorship windfall on it.PrincessFiona said:What does everyone think about the Hundred?

I will be boycotting it - I have no affiliation with any of the "new" teams, so it's just about players.2 -
