And could transport yourself in time to watch just one day's cricket, what would it be?

by tac Wed 09 Jan 2008, 00:56

Bradman's 300 in a day . . . or maybe the last day of the Tied test v the Windies.

I think it was 1930 at Headingley

Leeds 1930, wasn't it . . . as just answered by Bas, the stout yeoman.

by Mick Sawyer Wed 09 Jan 2008, 01:11

Thanks men - well that's my day then Bas. Any suggestions about what I drink in Leeds in 1930?

by Basil Wed 09 Jan 2008, 01:12

I think mine would be day 2 of the Oval test of 1968 when D'Oliveira scored 158.

Nope, just a great innings from a boyhood hero.

day 5 of the Sydney 08 test watching the indian team collapse in a pathetic almost english/bangladeshi display on a benign wicket

by Invader Zim Wed 09 Jan 2008, 01:17

I'd go back and stop India being admited to the ICC.

Sorry mate! I suppose you could ask for a pint of Tetley's. It was probably a better brew than it is now!

Anything but the water, I'd imagine . . .

How true, the time was when beer or cider was a safer drink than tap water - well, would you want a taste of next door's faeces?!

maybe when independent umps were introduced I'd go back to that day and also ensure that independent curators prepared the pitches

by Invader Zim Wed 09 Jan 2008, 01:25

Bradmans 300 in a day.
1st Tied Test.
Spofforth in his prime.
The Big Ship.
1st Test match.
Centenary Test.

September 12th, 2005. I'd celebrate England regaining the Ashes, then find whichever idiot in the ECB it is who allows Troy Cooley to walk 6 months later and throw them in the Thames with an anvil tied to his back.

Just change the result of their World Cup win - it tranformed the game in terms of the Indian public's outlook on the game. Something to be proud of has now morphed to a point where national esteem is welded to the fortunes of a freaking cricket team.

Nope, just a great innings from a boyhood hero.

Those things are special - I have memories of Dolly swatting DKL (off his eyebrows) to the square leg boundary in 1972.

Thanks for the Tetley's tip. Right, I'm all set for Leeds 1930 - can someone beam me off their now please?

Be sure to take a hat and jacket . . . you won't be allowed in the ground without them.

And Dolly would have been 41 at the time!

Well your first choice wasn't even an actual cricket match, so you're a bitter tit.
