Lovely words and so reminiscent of time spent with my late father watching and talking about cricket.

Hi Mr Grumbler,

Reading in No 93 your valedictory comments about your parents, both of whom I remember very well with affection, really choked me up - evoking happy memories of yesteryear brightened by cricket's colours of white and green. It was so life-affirming to realise that you were prepared to give your emotions such a free rein for the benefit of your readers.

On a lighter point, the photo of your bat shows how much loving care you devoted to the maintenance of its condition. Unlike one of Sir Alastair's weapons he showed me recently that looked as though it had been used in some form of combat. Having said that, it is, of course, probable that his will have clocked-up a little more 'mileage' than yours did!

Salutations,

Chris Butler.
