Yup. Quite a 1st class career, really: shame we didn' see more of him at international level.

[Richie Benauds Love Child]

I was never convinced myself of him at test level, but you're right decent county pro he certainly was. (good lord, I'm starting to sound like Yoda, and apart from this bit, on purpose it isnt!!)

We may do if my memory serves me. Am I right in thinking he now helps occassionally in the England set-up as a batting coach? (This is off the top of my head and I may be confused!!!)

I'm assuming its my turn then. I'll ignore the idea of sugesting dermot reeve by using drug/white line related shinangigans. No, I'll be going for a former england spinner, who for my generation was as much known for the fact he ran a sports goods shop with another local sporting hero than his bowling and batting prowess.

Certainly is talked about as a future England coach: he's already been involved with the ODI preparations in some capactiy.

Is it 'Steady' Eddie Hemmings? Bit of a guess, as I don't know when your generation was around!

[Rachael]

Ok... going by the "my generation" comment I assume we're looking after Edmonds and Emburey but before Tufnell, Croft and Giles.... so is it Richard Illingworth?

[Richie Benauds Love Child]

Its a good guess but its not right !

[Andy Mellon]

Phil Edmonds?

(let me guess in true Roy Walker style "Its close, but its not the one.... Watch Mr Chips!!!")
