Would love to get in touch with this guy - he was ahead of me as I came into the finishing straight but struggling to stay upright.
Kept him up and going until the marshals got there and told me to keep running, rightfully so.

And this is why I always take a short moment to reflect when walking or running past The Oval. Fortunately that is quite often as I live around 2 miles from it!!!
On this day, 49 years ago, witnessed one of the most breathtaking assaults by a batter in cricket history:
West Indies were asked to chase 193 & they lost Greenidge early in the inning... In-walks Alvin Kallicharran:

I'm inclined to agree. World-class at his best ... combination of factors robbed him of being one of THE greats. In his control, nine Test Match scores in the 90s to go with his 12 hundreds tells its own story in only 66 caps.

These two loved to bat together. I’d argue that neither of their test records fully speak into how brilliant they were.
Dad looks so young in this photo, he’d have been 26 at the time. Sad to think his Test Career ended at the age of 31 with some of his best form ahead of him.
