Great to catch up with you @ChrisTravers07 - reckon the last time was when you were scoring for @SleafordCC in 1987!

It was a pleasure to catch up with @KPAC55 at Bedford School this AM to talk all things '180 Not Out'. No, it's not my highest score, but a far more interesting series of stories from across the ages at Bedford School! Read more and get your copy ⬇️ bedfordindependent.co.uk/180…

46 seasons ago & @leicsccc 2nd XI just avoid coming a cropper v @HuntsCCC led by Bernie Facer, of Baronet bats fame, in a two day match. 7 to 11 in the Leics batting order included 2 Test players & 2757 first-class wickets. Yes, I know bowling figs aren’t in accepted format!

Playing against The Don and the Australians on that tour for Hollywood was British film and theatre actor Henry Byron Warner a formidable all-rounder for @BedfordSchool in the mid 1890s. Not many people know that 😄
Don Bradman batting in New York in 1932 - on a two month long tour of USA and Canada that doubled as his honeymoon he batted 51 times and, the opposition generally as iffy as the grounds they played on, averaged 102

Afternoon @BumbleCricket I know it's 53 years ago but can you recall your unbeaten ton at @bedfordschoolcc and are you able to verify Clive Lloyd launched a 6 over the pavilion?

On this poignant anniversary remembering @BedfordshireCCC & @BedfordSchool cricketer Arthur Denis Bradford Cocks who perished at La Breche, Normandy. Denis, a Royal Engineers Lieutenant Colonel, was the first officer to fall on D Day. He's somewhere in this 1922 school 1st XI.

Three long standing @GoddyCricket reprobates in this one. Difficult to believe Elliott Baldwin was once of this frame!
