In between visits Keith would often ring. One time I answered the phone and heard: “I thought you told me, ahem, that Mark Taylor was a good bloke.”
“He is, Keith.”
“Then why,” laughed Keith, “didn't he, ahem, make one more bloody run before he declared?”
It was October 1998 and Taylor had just struck his mammoth 334 not out in Peshawar — the then Australian record, and equal to Bradman's top score.
With these 20 the five to come would have Bradman, Wane, Lillee and GrimmettI I guess and since Gilchrist is missing in the 6 to 25 list I guess he will fill the last spot although that is surprisingly high.The Age is runnning the 'Cricketer's top 25' at the moment (better named Bradman and the next 24).
