Cannot criticise your XI, if I'm being honest, Arthur. Could have had Anwar, but then no Akram. Gilchrist? But then no Flower.

My England XI (in Asia)

Trescothick
Strauss
Cook
Gower
Thorpe
Russell
Giles
Edmonds
Sidebottom
Mullally
Tufnell

No Underwood???? Best English left armer of all time probably. He also got Gavaskar out 12 times.

John Edrich is certainly worth a look as opener.

Sorry it's my age...

I'd give my right arm to be ambidexstrous and my left arm to spell it.

I'd give my right arm to be ambidexstrous and my left arm to spell it.

I used to bowl left arm but throw with my right and batted right handed . Left arm underarm for bowls, ten pin etc. Games like tennis I played with my right.

I was left footed at football but learned to use my right and was eventually more accurate with the latter.

I write right handed but in 1962/63 took my O level exams left handed as I'd broken my right wrist playing football.

The left side of my brain is as bonkers as my right.
