The new hybrid

[Lillian Thomson]

I thought from his post that Goughy was more perplexed with the curious notion that Croft was a better bowler than Tufnell rather than Such.

As far as I knew, yes, for Dunstable Town.

I do remember reading that being for their second XI though - but it was a little while ago that I read it.

It's still a hundred, and therefore 70 more than I've ever made. I'm not going to nitpick.

I think he was dropped on 9 though so it doesn't really count.

Think is no good - we need proper evidence.














And yes, this post was in jest, so DON'T start.

And I said, did I not - Tufnell had all things been equal would almost certainly have been a better bowler than Croft. They weren't, though - Tufnell was an oft troubled soul, which meant there were far too many occasions in his career that he wasn't available.

Of course, Croft was indeed ordinary - Tufnell too was ordinary. Just slightly less so.

Why should we believe it's a joke if you always think that way?

 

[Richard]

Because I'm not really terribly concerned with what happened for Dunstable Town Second XI, so therefore I'm not going to be making a serious post about such a thing.

OK, still confused here. In your opinion was Croft the better bowler than Tufnell?

Tufnell at his best > Croft at his best.

Croft's career > Tufnell's career.

Tufnell's career = ordinary. Croft's career = ordinary.

That is it.
