Maybe after this test, we should give the "amazing" Windies Leggy a go. What harm can he do, but it would be at the expense of a bowler and all of them are in form.


Does Rawl Lewis fit in?

Would be a shame for him to lose his world record.

Might do nearly as well with Lou Rawls as with Rawl Lewis. Even though Lou Rawls is dead.

I always get confused with this. Is Rawl the West Indian version of Lewis FFS, as distinct from the Australian version of Lewis FFS & the English version of Lewis FFS?

Do South Africa & New Zealand have their own versions of Lewis FFS?

Wally - Percy Lewis played one test for Saf in 1913 and made a pair.

He certainly qualifies for FFS status.

Thanks eowyn & JGK.

I guess Percy must be the patron of the Lewis FFS club.

At least Tony Lewis was able to avoid the FFS tag. Of course last season his old county was known as Glamorgan FFS.

NZ's Lewis FFS could be VoR's old mate Lewis 'Uncon' Vincent,

England's ultimate Lewis FFS was, is and will forever remain Chris.

Perhaps the Saffies should start a FFS moniker for anyone called Percy - both Percy Lewis and Percy Twentyman-Jones got pairs in their only test.

I'll leave it to others to point out the Welsh link...

My mother was born there in Pembroke. Prolly should add that the family left when she was five & moved to Kent/London.
