Many thanks to GRAHAM LLOYD (seen below with December’s guest, Sue Redfern), who stepped in as a last minute replacement for Frank Hayes when a family emergency prevented the latter’s attendance last night. With luck Frank will be with us later in the programme. #WatchThisSpace

Former Lancashire batter FRANK HAYES will be @wlcs_uk’s next guest on 12 November. He played in 9 tests between 1973 & 1976, ALL against the West Indies. A difficult stat to research, but is his sole opponent test career a record @ZaltzCricket?

It’s great! Hope you enjoyed it & you’re not aching too much today, Steve?
So, fourteen years after last picking up a bat or bowling a ball, I am off to play walking cricket this morning. Hoping that muscle memory kicks in at some point. If I still have muscles.. Wish me luck!
