Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

Bit of a era spanning fivefer here.

But who do you rate?

anyone who refuses to be given out LBW because "they came to see me bat, not you umpire" should be in the team

I believe he once scored a hundred in a match where 22 fielders were allowed

He once scored 839 runs in one week in 1876, with innings of 344 for MCC, 177 and then 318 not out for Gloucestershire.

rumour has it he scored 54,000 FC runs and took 2,800 FC wickets

As an icon, got to be Grace.

Has to be Grace, even if the only reason is that my local Wetherspoons where I used to live used to be named after him

Is the doctor in?
