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!

No, it's sad isn't it? Scarecly a West Indian supporter in the crowd. I suppose that this Windies team isn't even the best team in the West Indies...

I'll always remember them like this espncricinfo.com ...

Andy Lloyd was there at the 'Parade of 'legends'' which they did in the 'lunch' interval. 50 Tests at Edgbaston and lots of old players (mostly either Warks. or working in the media.) Shame, we'll never know if he could have been any good at that level.

Brilliant link :)

I wanted to be Jeff Thomson when I was a kid, but only because I thought the Windies fast bowlers were too terrifying to constitute role models.

I bet the Windies were quaking in their boots at the prospect of facing Willis, Botham, Del Pringle, Nick Cook and Geoff Miller

You have to admit, on reflection, that Pringle had a good game. was that actually his only good game..?

Geoff Miller, Derbyshire lad. Couldn't bat, non spinning spinner. He was no Derek Pringle.

Didn't he look like a cheap imitation Jack Russell?
