Played a works game against him at Norton in about 1990. Our opener asked if Chappy was still quick. I said yes but he ignored me and went out without a helmet on anyway. Tried a hook in the first over and was carried off with an egg growing out of forehead.

Told him he was quick.

Knocked my stumps over a few times in the day

That was David Jackson ! Your other opener was Paul Burn. As Jacka was being carried off Burnsy shouted "well Jacka you have been knocked out by Michael Holding and Keith Chapman ".

Burnsy was playing but the other opener that day was a lad called Steve Robson from the Harbour.

Edit: If I remember correctly, he called Jacka through for a single while he was lying pole-axed on the ground.

Your memory seems better than mine. I was playing for the opposition and in the field at the time of the incident.
Jacka never said who was the quickest Holding or Chappy !

Don't think he knew his own name after Chappy hit him.

Peter Madison got a big hundred for us to win the game that day - told us before he went in he was going to hit the house with the blue roof tiles that was straight back over the bowlers head. Did it a couple of times I think.
