In the topsy-turvy days when England cricket went through the ups of winning the Ashes and the downs of being whitewashed by West Indies, there was in Middlesex a batsman from St. My e-mail trawl for this tribute piece needed to be seen to be believed – I had forgotten how frequent the correspondence had been.
Law also clearly identified Malan as coming back from being cheaply dismissed and moaning about an unplayable surface, at Sussex in 2020, and so no surprises that Dawid left at the end of his contract. Hughes wrote that he “took time to settle before each ball and asked the bowlers to set imaginary fields, then claimed runs if he felt he’d worked the ball between the men. However, the wicket-keeping situation at Worcestershire is very similar to that at Middlesex as Worcestershire have a young keeper in Ben Cox who they plan to persist with, and it was only due to Cox having to complete his schooling that they needed Scott until late-June. A brew in the Allen with Phil"the power" Taylor who was already there (way overdressed) and Dingy Bags who arrived soon after I did then upstairs to watch the game unfold. Sean Abbott today took 6-14 to bowl New South Wales to an innings and 80 runs victory v Queensland at the SCG.
About 5,000 people are expected to attend the funeral, so the sportshall is larger than I imagined it would be.
The death of this fine young man seems to have drawn people together across the sporting world and is a tribute to an all round good bloke. The tributes to Phillip Hughes at Tuesday's Adelaide Test will include Hughes's Test cap number of 408 being painted on the outfield, a video tribute narrated by Richie Benaud being shown around the ground, 63 seconds of applause, the Australia players' shirts bearing the number 408 and the players and management of both sides as well as presumably the umpires wearing black armbands. Janet’s match reports were often brimming with details about her life…details of her journey, her lousy neighbours, every aspect of the lunch she had brought with her, the posse of Allen Stand gossips who attended that day.But the entertainment clearly went down very well and it was great to relive the successful 2016 campaign and also to hear from those Middlesex greats.
After all, Hughes was born within three weeks of me, was someone I really enjoyed watching for Middlesex, and I have not seen as many players represent the club compared to supporters who feel sadder than I do.In the all-conquering Middlesex dressing-room that had the short-tempered Mike Gatting, the ever-apologetic Paul Downton and John Emburey, the complaining Graham Barlow, and the eccentric Phil Edmonds, Wilfred Norris Slack brought a sense of calm and sanity, especially in the post-Mike Brearley era. Rayner became a fixture in the team despite dramatic declines in his batting and bowling, apparently because he was a good slip fielder and generally viewed as a "decent white cove". I f anyone can add any information to what is listed below, or has any corrections, then please contact us. By comparison, in 2016 Durham were relegated and penalised 48 points for the following season after requiring financial help from the ECB. Just in case anything ever happens to MTWD and/or Sportnetwork, I have also scraped the report to Ogblog – here.
