I went to a couple of days of that game, but not the day Tendulkar scored his century. I did see Simon Hughes get him out cheaply in the first innings though!

I can remember Richard Stemp's spell. I recall Tony 'Jesus" Day nearly getting into a fight with him when he suggested Stemp was a dead ringer for Julian Clary.

Mine was about 10 years before that. I think Derek Randall might have been playing.

He was called Arthur Smith and he had a little bench on the popular side. He did Elland Road as well. He never had a shop.
Blakey was a keeper so unlikely he was near the crowdWe were all sat just in front of the ginnell that leads to The Dun Cow, mainly Coxhoe, Spenny, Shildon lads, plus me
Nah not Hoggy. Doing me nappa in this. Maybe Blakey if he was a pretty boy.

Hampshire v Nottingham when they used to play the odd game at Basingstoke.
Greenidge and Roberts and I think Barrie Richards for Hampshire. Derek Randall for Notts.

Ashley Metcalfe (ginger) or David Byas ( blond )
He’s thrown a Googly and saying it could have been a Sunday league game
IIRC those lads may have played them games as well back then

I was pup back then. Lithe, pace as I had long legs, the lot
That’s a good shoutPaul Jarvis
His long lost cousin David didHad a look at the line up in 1992 and thought it may have been Jeremy Batty (although he didn't have blonde hair)
Went to one of those in the early '80s when Graeme Pollock gave a master-class in batting.
I had never seen anyone make batting look so easy.
