rf_fozzy Feb 2021 12:18pm, 2 Feb 2021 12,992 posts	0 rf_fozzy My understanding that Tuffers, Cook and the Jos Buttler/Surrey worshipping Dan Norcross were at the Oval, Vaughan and Simon Mann were in the Strictly Come Dancing studio in Manchester for some reason, Aggers was in his loft and Andy Zaltzmann was in his shed at the bottom of the garden.

Cerrertonia Feb 2021 1:17pm, 2 Feb 2021 13,687 posts	0 Cerrertonia Back several pages, Ocelot Spleens correctly spotted that Barry Wood was the 1975 test cricketer with the long career. He made his Yorkshire debut in 1964, and in 1990 made an appearance, aged 47, as 12th man/sub fielder for Lancashire, 11 years after his first spell with Lancs had ended.
