Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Was Tuffers a worse batsman or fielder?

The Caddick-Tuffers-Mullally-Giddins attack was reckoned to be the worst tail end we ever put out. 4 no 11s, and 4 properly shit no 11s at that...

Caddick high score 49 not out (Tests), Tufnell 22 not out (5 not out in ODIs!), Mullally 24, Giddins 7 (from 4 Tests). Test wickets 234, 121, 58, 12. Caddick not as bad as all that in fairness but nobody's idea of a number 8 Test batsman.

Caddick could bat well when he was in the mood. Most of the time he wasn't. Bit like his bowling. Either unplayable or buffet bowling, no in between.

I can’t really remember much about Caddick batting other than he just looked wrong.

You could still see he had big ears. Even with a Helmet on.

Tuffers was a very, very good bowler. Giddens and Mulally weren't.

Mullally and Giddins would be in my archetypal County trundler attack. Igglesdon and Agnew complete the quartet.

Tuffers was average at best
