Random England players of the 90s

[Mr Redknapp]

Always thought Martin Bicknell should have got more of a crack

Anderson-like, quality bowler @TheRey

 

[Captain Slackbladder]

Joey Benjamin.

One test and two odi's.

 

[Salem Street South]

I nearly put him but for some reason then thought nah, he’s West Indian.

Borderline worrying on my part

Born in St Kitts so I guess he is

You may also consider Winston Benjamin or Kenny Benjamin

 

[smoker]

Hollioake A was a decent ODI player
Hollioake B could have been top class

If you say so.

Plenty of players could have been great but for inconsistent form and lack of application.

 

[The Breen Machine]

Mark Ilott

Quite rapid back in the day apparently.

 

[The Red Telephone]

Peter Martin

Once saw him score 133 against Durham at Gateshead Fell in our first season.

theres an article in this months cricketer about the Surrey team of the hollioakes, butcher, stewart, ward, bicknell etc.

they suffered bens death and another player around that time as well, which put an end to their dominance.

Ben Hollioake could have been anything and the signs were he would have been top class and played at least 50 England games.

Probably the last great county team, more so in terms of sheer talent than continued success. They could turn out a side of 11 internationals.

2012 that one.

That was after that era. It was a lad called Graham Kersey who was a wicket keeper, five years before hollioake

Thorpe too, and Darren Bicknell. They were my favourite county growing up.

Forgot that one, car accident in Australia IIRC.

Ally Brown as well - used to give us grief in the early days every time they played us.

Brisbane for Kersey, Perth for Hollioake.

Ian Salisbury was part of that side for a while too, I’m sure he played with another spinner but I can’t remember who.

Stewart

Salisbury was amazing in the county game and gash for England.
