Don Shepherd Glamorgan bowler was one of the best in his time but was never selected for Englands tests.

I'm guessing it was because Jim Laker and Tony Lock were England's main spin bowlers when he started out, then came Deadly Derek Underwood, so perhaps it's understandable why he never had a call up, great bowler though he was.

Yes them two stopped him in the 50s but he was playing right through to the 70s, Fred Titmus and underwood were selected before him.Richie Benaud was among those who believed he would have thrived on the big stage. “Had he been an Australian he would have played for his country many, many times,” he said.

Re: England Cricket

Weather looking worse now tomorrow and esp Sunday. I think it will ruin this test and thus the series

Re: England Cricket

I played till I was about 40, packed it in too early really. Did your drop in interest coincide with cricket going to Sky? If so I don't think you're alone

you can watch all the glam county games on you tube , most of the 20 over games , probly the 50 over , and ''anyone got a link''

Sophia Gardens does stage England games fairly regularly at least.

Maybe they could add a dragon to the bottom of their badge. Adding dragons to the bottom of badges is always popular...
