    Tks Spark. Didn't notice the smiley - nor do I understand the significance of it. I'm a Yorkshireman.... Yorkshire born, Yorkshire bred, stout in t' arm, an' thick in t' 'ead! Kind regards, Robin.

    Reporting me Mr Shah? To whom, and for what? Calling Americans "tossers" isn't being racist, it's a statement of FACT! Arrogant? I think not - outspoken certainly, particularly when I'm RIGHT! Prick? That's the only 1 you're right about! Kind regards, Robin Loudmouth.

    AMERICAN English? Wot the firkin 'ell is THAT? Those loud-mouthed arrogant tossers don't speak/write ENGLISH - they're too busy invading innocent people to even LEARN English! And BTW, amour is FRENCH, and THAT'S how it's spelled - it means LOVE! Therefore, it IS enamoured, not enamored! Sorry...

    Hi there, thanks 4 the kind comments. Love your username BTW - though I would have made it In/Outswinger@Pace - which would (in my case) be wishful thinking. Regards, Robin.

    Respects to you too Siva. BTW, I'm sorry about the injuries which decimated your Test side earlier in the year - it made the series a no-contest. I am one Englishman who isn't gloating. Kind regards, Robin. PS Atherton isn't a tosser, he was an exceptional opening bat and captain, and is an...

    Je suis d'accord Agent. He was a gentleman as a boy, and remains so - and a very knowledgable commontator. Regards, R.

    Fast bowler survival - rank the best fast bowlers of all time

    Dear Tom, I am amazed that anyone can grow up in SA and not become indoctrinated with the game ; given that nearly half of England's current Test team is South African! The real sad thing in my mind, is how few British schools now still play cricket - when I was a lad growing up in Yorkshire...

    OH, and BTW.... ....although Darren Gough was a fine bowler, you couldn't mention him in the same breath as FST! And how come Boycott doesn't get a place in your England team - which, incidentally, looks 1 bowler short IMO? Regards, R.

    Hi D of G,,,, ,,,,not very many to be honest ; particularly when I was young, because A) I couldn't afford it, and B) I joined the RAF in 1966, and spent 5 years in Berlin, where we played on matting wickets, and I hated them! I came from a poor family - but my Dad did take me to a couple of...

    Yes! YES, My Dad took me to a test match in the late 1950s, and I saw Fred bowl live at Headingley, but I don't remember who it was against. The next time I saw him was at the Scarborough Festival in the early 1960s - I was a boarder at Scarborough High School for Boys, but I boarded at a small...

    Hi Bag,... Thanx 4 yr welcome, I am a big fan of Fred The Great. The only reason I rank him as No 1 is because he WAS No 1. He was the greatest fast bowler who ever lived - and I have 1st hand experience! Kind regards, R.
