Little fat me and my "Duncan Fernley" cricket bat approach Jeremy while him and the rest of the Kiwi team are waiting for taxi's to the airport after a "one dayer or test" at the MCG circa 1980 possibly the "underarm" one.
I ask Jeremy if he will sign my bat, to which he reply's "I'll do better than that son" then turns to his tired team and urges them to "sign the kids bat".
I lost the bat, but still have the memory.
Thanks Jeremy, you and Doug Walters hold a special place in a big kids memory; for proving you could be international cricketers and nice approachable icons. |
