Few years ago you used to get a cricket 'annual' produced by Benson and Hedges covering the season/year just gone - does that still get produced minus the tobacco advertising and if so by whom?

No, Playfair is a different one, the B&H Cricket Year books look like they went up to 2000, looking on Amazon. Perhaps in the end they found they just couldn't compete with Wisden.

Just bought 'Not in my Day Sir - The Best of the Cricket Letters to the Daily Telegraph.'

Unintentionally dead funny and interesting too. Well worth £8 off Amazon if anyone is thinking of buying it.

MIDDLE STUMP OUT BUT BAILS UNDISTURBED

Sir - Some of your readers may be interested in the following curious incident which occurred in a cricket match last Saturday between two Berkshire villages, Hagbourne and Didcot.

One of the Hagbourne batsmen was bowled, his middle stump being knocked out of the ground. The bails, however, did not move, and by some curious chance remained in their position supported merely by the two outside stumps. According to Law 20 of the Laws of Cricket it seems as if the wicket was not down, and therefore the batsman was not out, but it is a nice point.
