Strong Domestc Sides

btw if you feel so inclined, ask your dad about Yorkshire's 1960's side. I don't really know much about them beyond the facts I stated earlier, but I'm sure he could tell you a lot more. Looking at the card for the 1965 Gillette Cup Final, I was astonished to see an overall RR above 5 an over. I know that was the game when Boycott famously gave it some humpety, but in the context of 1965 I figured that meant about 4 an over absolutely max.
Dad's a bit young to remember that really - would've been 11 in '65 and being Lancastrian rather than Yorkshireman would probably have had more interest in the other side of the Pennines if any at that age.
