      More cricket faces

      Here's another one for you. Who is this? He played for England 4 times (bizarrely not in his usual role) and is the uncle of one of the last lot of faces:



      Bit easier maybe- who is this?



      And this? One of the "happy hookers", and now a cricket administrator:



      And this:

        That's Chris Balderstone who played cricket for Leicestershire 'an Yorkshire, and football for Carlisle and 'uddersfield.

        The last one isn't I.T. Botham is it?

              All correct.

              Meregreen, would you get John Steele right if I put him up?

                I knew all these, after you told me.

                Can we do international substitute fielders next? Number one will be Alan Ealham.

                  Yeah, quite possibly from his Leics days.

                  I find the 70s and 80s ones so much easier to identify than the current players. Partly, it's because i rarely watch live cricket now (certainly since it went to sky), but a lot of it is to do with the introduction of helmets which means that the lesser known batsmen are that much harder to recognise.

                    That was a great Leics side. Has any side ever had a better four-pronged spin attack?

                          Well, OK. But they wouldn't have been such a handful in the B&H Cup on a wet wicket.

                          They also probably never played with the Texas-sized outfields that Illy demanded for his spinners. When Mike Turner, the secretary, whose commercial expertise was important in the rise of Leics, proposed bringing them in a few yards and putting up marquees, Illy got very annoyed. He properly lost it when one of his bowls got hit for six and came back covered in salmon mousse. "Fooking tents".
