And who should ignore Roger Marshall..lest we forget his merciless onslaught on Mike Proctor in the Gillette Cup!!

Batting aside, the famous son of Horsham that is Roger Philip Twells Marshall would grace any 20/20 scene with his flowing locks and deadly accurate left-arm over, military-medium bowling too.

The most curious thing..
You are OLD too!

Never forget the straight bat to Proctor!

...who bowled straight through it

Paul Parker – specialist batsman against spin and very quick between the wickets, not to mention a fantastic fielder

Paul Parker was at the same school as me - I remember the School took us to Lords to see him play, I think it was againt the MCC.

Not sure, but I think he played only once or twice for England, and as was the policy in those days was dropped after only a couple of games.


Great thread, and some great names. Imagine Big Garth, Imran, Prior, Mushy, Greig, Wells in the same 20/20 team!

Despite his batting average being substantially below his bowling average (an interesting variety of off-spin), can I put in a vote for Udaykumar Chaganlal Joshi :clap:

RIGHT, ENOUGH

someone must put an 11 together and I am using a lot of the current boys

Bevan
Goodwin
Wright
Adams
Khan
Prior
Yardy
Stephenson
Mushy
RMJ
Kirtley


probably too many bowlers but the last 4 + Khan & Yardy are/were good at keeping it tight and can swing a bat with the best of them*

and if anyone thinks I've picked too many current players I would point them in the direction of the trophy cabinet and tell them to go f*** themselves





*apart from Franklyn v Warks
