| Player you most Admire (First Class): |
Alan Lamb not because he's a great player although not bad in his time, but because I was in The Beverley in Cathedral Road one summers night, a group of guys walked in and in that unmistakable South African twang he ordered drinks for the rest of the Northants team - What a captain.
or Ian Botham just up the road in The Halfway but that's more of a rugby than cricket story

Simon Starr The luckiest bowler I've ever played with, a fine captain and the only person who I've ever seen order a Kaliber shandy. |
