Believe or not

It was Jonty Rhodes

East, he was 42 not out. Was it Jonty Rhodes?

Fantastic

That is a question for "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire"

McCurdy's good. Given his origin, he has grace and humility, and he's happy to admit that we're all guessing. He's not and "I" specialist and he's a funny guy. I think he's a big asset. Good luck, Illegitimis non carborundum!

Well said Jack! "Don't let the baskets grind you down". Hoor hoor and seconded ... cricket's a great game, just like life. I wonder how Mickey Arthur will fare in his new job?

Remember that West Indian bowler Sylvester Clarke, he made our provincial batsmen jump around.

Kenny Mckewan was playing for Eastern Province those days

Richie Ryall was a great artist if i'm not mistaken?
Who can remember the guy who was always in the stands giving Rice and the Vaalies a hard time on the boudary.
Rice really had a funny bowling action hey......i used to try and bowl like him in the park without much luck.
Maybe not as far back, but i remember Dave Rundle........
Damn, this brings back memories.
