All Our Yesterdays - A Nice Article for the Old Farts Amongst Us
Especially me.
http://www.goalsandwickets.co.uk/cricket/cricket-annuals/era-quietly-vanishing-review-2015-wisden-cricketers-almanack/
Met Peter Sainsbury, once.
Played against Don Bennett, once,
But these were cricketers we were interested in on seemingly a daily basis, can't imagine any of them fartarsing off to India for quick bucks.
EDIT: Senior Moment: See these are 2014 departures.
A team made up of English/Welsh 2015 exits could include:
Graham Atkinson
John Dewes
Ted Lester
Tom Graveney
David Fletcher
Brian Close (Capt)
Barrie Meyer (w/k)
Frank Tyson
Ken Smales
Fred Ridgway
Bob Appleyard
A long tail there and perhaps Brian Reynolds should get a shout as extra bat and auxiliary keeper. Mel Ryan and Roy Ralph squad players and David Blake can bring on the drinks as he's the only Hampshire player I can see that's eligible.
For those too young to remember the halcyon days and routines of County Cricket and its followers, it's a timely reminder of an era in sport that seems scarcely imaginable today.
