hi

Another Fred Trueman quote....

Fred was playing in the Yorkshire League and some of the home umpires were notoriously biased.

Fred was bowling at the opponent's "star" batsmen.

He bowled a fast delivery that snicked the batsman's bat to be caught by the wicket keeper. "Owzat" screamed Fred at the umpire. " Not out"

3 more times Fred appealed for decisions that he thought were out.
3 times the umpire refused his appeals.

Next ball he put everything he had into it and knocked the batsman's middle stump cartwheeling backwards.

"Eeeh" said Fred. " Nearly got him that time". !!!

Cheers

MikeL2
