“Fakhar drills it through the covers” being the highlight. I almost dropped my bowl of gulab jamun and ice cream.

The Charley The Gent/Nigel Father Barry/Aggers story is arguably more ridiculous than any of the winners of coveted RA points. I can say that even before listening to the Ridiculous Ashes Part Four..

I liked him he was a fixture throughout the best English side of my lifetime. He a was pretty player, he could catch.

On the other hand he supports Coventry and his favourite drink is Carling .
