Young Buchan BS: Re. Cricket World Cup (117* d) RE: BS: Re. Cricket World Cup 20 Mar 11

Rog:

As to the Welsh - Gilbert Parkhouse, Alan Jones, Maurice Turnbull, Tony Lewis, Alan Watkins, Wilf Wooler (Capt), Eifion Jones (Wk), Don Shepherd, Simon Jones, Johnny Clay, Jeff Jones

(Tough to pick the number 11 between Johnny and Jeff but I recall the words of Trevor Bailey commentating 'And in comes Jeff Jones, batting number 11 for England; he also bats number 11 for Glamorgan ... in fact he'd probably bat number 11 for the Llanelli Fire Brigade Third Team')

OK, they wouldn't beat an all-time English XI but they'd beat the present lot.

Actually they WOULD beat an all-time England XI - because for umpires I'm having David Evans and Dai Davies - Dai, you will recall, answered the final appeal in 1948 with the words 'That's out, and we've won!'
