That would have been an interesting conversation between Lock and Laker, after the match.

having seen monty recently destroy our (nz's) hover-on-the-crease-don't-get-forward-out-plumb-lbw batting i reckon laker would still do pretty well in todays game

Yes indeed ,tbone, the absence of high fives and a bit of decent English restraint is a joy to see. The pride comes in the fantastic bowling figures, no need for the leaping about. (Having said which, I find Monty's enthusiasm when he takes a wicket a wonderful contrast to his solemn, intense look when bowling.)

My last three comments don't appear to make any sense because they are all replies to previous comments, but have all come up at the top of the page for some reason. My apologies.

He's got talent, Adil Rashid. He seems to be going the same way as Cameron White (focussing too much on his batting), but he's still young, that may change.

Presumably you watch baseball. As a rough guide, 'wickets' are outs (they can be taken 'caught', 'bowled' (hitting the sticks behind the batter), 'lbw' (hitting the batter's leg in front of the sticks), 'run out' (ground out), 'stumped' (ground out by the 'wicketkeeper' (backstop)), and 10, not 3, are needed per innings. Each side has 2 innings per match, meaning that a side generally needs 20 wickets to win. Hence a single 'bowler' (pitcher) claiming 19 wickets in a match is remarkable.

The Underwood-style slow left-armer Tony Lock, who also played for Surrey.

Did anyone else notice how little post-wicket celebration there was ? If that happened today they would organinse a chariot to carry him off the ground at close of play.
