Sorry to continue drift, but

A 52 above should of course read 54: I can count, honest

B One more really interesting fact about the man I once saw as he passed by & exchanged greetings with my form master ~ "He stood [i.e. umpired] with Frank Chester at The Oval in 1938 during England's record Ashes victory of an innings and 579 runs." If I have it right, that was the match where Hutton made a record test score which stood for years ~~ possibly until Lara happened along?
