My first memory of Crimble (and I think the first or second game of cricket I watched live) was going down with our Dad one Sunday to watch what he described at Heywood’s new fast bowling pro. I have vague memories of watching him from sideways on from over near the old toilets and not being able to see the ball- until the stumps were splattered. Looking forward to more in the series!

Not a good idea, next time I faced him in the nets the first ball whistled about half an inch past my nose, not that it really mattered, no advice would have improved my batting skills anymore than the forward defensive stroke that Phil Wright ingrained in me.

Looking forward to seeing more
