A Collection of player moments

Bill Athey, then a young up-and-coming batsman, was playing for the MCC against the touring team. Fielding at deep third man he took the best catch I have ever seen. He dived, both feet off the ground and held a scorching slash which would have gone for four. I was a young man sitting in front of the old Tavern. I am now an old man and the Tavern has gone! John Biggs

Not seeing Bradman playing, but when he sat next to me at the Adelaide Test in 1991. D Farrington

Meeting Ted Dexter and him signing my Junior Ted Dexter bat! Allen Lydon

David Gower flying low over the cricket match in the Ashes tour 1990. Antics of the past. Mrs. Z. Johnson

Shane Warne spinning his mystery balls at an incredible pace. Impressive. Michael Murphy

I was lucky enough to see Lara's 501* at Edgbaston in 1994, and I happened to keep score of his whole innings on my own sheets in the crowd.  John M Brown

Sitting in Ealing Cricket Club Bar with the Middx team after a benefit match. Why are footballers so far up themselves and the cricketers are not? Phil Baldwin
