TRO Saracen Jun 2016 1:19pm, 9 Jun 2016 13,011 posts	0 TRO Saracen I remember my first trip to Lord's. Ashes 1985. We were incredibly excited for two reasons: 1) To see the great IT Botham bat 2) To be able to drink all day (in those days pubs shut in the afternoons) Classic top order collapse meant the great man was at the crease the over before lunch. Rather than play for the interval, he smeared an imperious boundary. We waited excitedly through lunch for the afternoon session counterattack. It lasted about 3 balls....he smeared another imperious 6....or rather it would have been a 6 were it not for the Australian plucking it out of the air on the boundary rope...... The drinking did not disappoint, however...;-)

FenlandRunner Jun 2016 6:29pm, 9 Jun 2016 8,992 posts	0 FenlandRunner Statto... according to the commentators on Sky, Bairstow is the highest international scoring batsman in the world over the last twelve months!
