Quality punning, but you need to correct the typo in the title.

When I first found this thread I thought it is about real flowers in UK or London florists. :laugh:
Now after I have read the interesting article I know this was a misunderstanding. the article is about Andy Flower and not about real flowers. Sometimes I am really obtuse. :laugh:

Does anyone remember 2002's Power Cricket gimmick? It was a match between "The Brits" and Rest of the World, in a twin-innings (15 overs each) format in a closed ground, with varying degrees of big hits. In that game, Andy Flower played for the ROW XI in that game, and the back of his shirt had "FLOWERS" printed on it.

That game also had a certain "Matthew FLEMMING" and "Jeff Astle" play for either side.

About Andy Flower, I'd say both he and Gary Kirsten are two examples of recently-retired players doing well as international coaches. Maybe something to think about?

Yes, I remember that. Played at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, IIRC.

They had Corky wired up when he was bowling, and he sussed that what he was saying was also being relayed to the batsmen at the same time. When Charles Colville asked him what the next delivery was going to be, Corky said 'bouncer' - then fired in a leg-stump yorker.

I think if the ball was whacked into the upper tier you scored 8 or 10. The next year, Twenty20 was invented - a huge improvement.

Does it still drive Richard nuts?

Richard hasn't been seen for a while, staff forum excepted.
