If You Could Re-Write Your Own History?

[doctordb]

Spotted by glos ccc at 16 I cement my place as a swashbuckling no.4 and a fast medium swing bowler. Soon I find myself in the england squad touring Australia and impress with a debut ton and 5 for 23 in the opening test. My 376 not out in the boxing day test surpasses goochies 333 and reduces warne and McGrath to quivering wrecks. After 131 tests with an average of 74.36 and 821 wickets including the 9 for 21 against Australia in the '97 world cup final as well as leading glos ccc to several county championships over a twenty year career I retire to the riches of the ipl leaving a trail of debauchery and catwalk models behind me as I retire to Antigua.

If you could go back and choose a life what would you do? (no world peace or cures for illness thanks) :-)

God I thought this was Phil Vickery but he plays rugby and not cricket

but was in the Gloucs rugby team.

I thought he had re written the bit of history where he tells his Dad he has been picked to play for Bath and his Dad says no you dont - you stay on the farm and labour for me !

The crowds were cheering, could it be done:

May 6th 1954 at Iffley Road Track in Oxford, with Chris Chataway and Chris Brasher providing the pacing and sqad way back in 4th place. The final lap and Bannister made his move after the bell surging into a lead....sqad new that he had to follow and with air difficult to find, his legs weakened, sqad used his stomach muscles and running on overdrive surged passed Brasher and followed Bannister. One hundred yards to go and sqad made his move on to the shoulder of the long striding Bannister and matched him stride my stride. Fifty yards and with a superhuman effort, sqad surged by Bannister and just made for the tapes.

sqad first man to beat 4 mins for the mile..............well done sqad.
