Title: Older Players!!!
Post by: petehosk on October 15, 2011, 02:33:05 PM

Just thought I'd dig out some older players from cigarette cards I have.
Hope you enjoy them and for the younger members, some very famous names from 70-100 years ago, some of which are still considered amongst the best ever! Enjoy  8)

He was involved in an opening partnership of 555 with Herbert Sutcliffe. Still a record I think ... almost broken this season by Michael Carberry and Neil McKenzie. Shrouded in controversy though, because I think that the scoreboard at the ground was one run out and the  scorers were tasked to find a 'missed' leg bye from somewhere to corroborate the record.

I love the hand protection in those days! Pathetic finger protection for the lower hand and doesn't seem to bother with his top hand!!

Post by: Tumo on October 16, 2011, 07:09:09 AM

Pete, I am really enjoying these, possibly more-so than your bats! Must be worth a few bob as well, quite rare?

Title: Re: Older Players!!!
Post by: petehosk on October 16, 2011, 08:06:27 AM

Not particularly rare and not massively valuable! But there is something nostalgic and interesting about them! Each one records a time from history of an individual cricket and I find it so fascinating when reading about them!
Really glad you're enjoying this topic! I will do some more and will have to see if there are any other cricket ones as I'm sure I had others!  8)
