Sussex Sharks vs Mushtaq Ahmed's Allstar XI - 30/5/10

[Mendoza]

Anyone know what time it starts? I've seen 12.30pm, 3pm and 4.30pm advertised

Who else is going to Hove to honour the great fluffy legend??

 

[Trigger]

4.30 allegedly, there is another game before at 12.30.

Mushtaq Ahmed - Testimonial Year 2010

[The Wizard]

Mushy to win by 500 runs.

Just watched the video on the front page of his testimonial website. Made me remember how much I miss the man. What a legend.

I had a lump in my throat when I finished watching that.

 

[The Wizard]

Can't we bring him back to improve our flidders?

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

[footychick]

Ohhhh I'd love to go to this

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Why can we bring him back on the same principle as David Harris of Hambledon in the eighteenth century...

"In later years he suffered terribly from gout, and he brought an armchair onto the field and sat down between deliveries. When the gout was severe, there are accounts of him using crutches."

David Harris | Cricket Players and Officials | Cricinfo.com

He would still be better than the current crop.

Sussex 225/3 from their 20 overs

[Lord Bracknell]

A comfortable win for the Sharks - by about three dozen runs.

And I had my photo taken with the great man at the end.

 

[Lady Bracknell]

A jolly fine afternoon. My apologies for arriving dressed in a manner that confirmed everyone's suspicions about Lewes. Not many pictures were taken but a link will be provided tomorrow.

 

[Martinf]

A comfortable win for the Sharks - by about three dozen runs.

I expect Mushy has written something similar on Twitter or Facebook:

"And I had my photo taken with that great Lord Bracknell man at the end. I understand he's a retired Morris Dancer".
