    Glamorgan legend Don Shepherd, the county's leading wicket-taker, looked back on his lengthy career on his 90th birthday shortly before his death.


    A very decent bloke as well.
    How he never played Test cricket is beyond me. I recall he used to co-commentate with Bevan in the days of 40 over cricket being played on Sundays.

      I spent a very boozy Saturday night with Edward Bevan, Chris Cowdrey and Don Shepherd when a few of us went down to Taunton to watch a three day game with Somerset over the Whitsun weekend in the early nineties (Swindon beat Leicester in the Play Off Final on the Monday to win promotion to the Premier League) - Don was funny, perceptive and, occasionally, critical when talking modern day players but, most importantly, more than stood his round!

        Good stuff. You always have to stand your round.

            Run rate gone down a bit now 127-2 of 14.4
            Let's hope ex Glambag Jim Allenby does the 'decent thing'!

              Decent effort to get 183 in the end, looked a good little cameo from Wagg.
              Need to break this 3rd wicket partnership though as they are on required 9 per over
