Way back when, in the days when richie benaud was on the beeb, I was descetly passed a "12th man" tape, (youngsters a "tape" was something tha preceeded CDs and contained music and computer games often for the commadore 64 and ZX spectrum.If you still arent sure ask your parents). I found this tape to be a revaltion and amused my friends with impressions of the great man doing impressions of the great man, the "warming up in the shower" or my favourite, "I'm just going to the xxxx and will back in just in few moments and enjoy your company then", with xxx being the bar, gents, etc etc. or even the "ah awful" which my non-cricketing chums have tried and still not mastered to this day.

I still find those tapes funny now, and they bring back memories of driven round darkest parts of derbyshire and nottinghamshire totally lost looking for a cricket ground with that on in the background.

Happy days !
