His grandson played for England, his son was a stalwart for Worcestershire
and in his time he was regarded as the only viable opponent to Donald Bradman as the "World's Greatest Batman".

Who was he?

Let's see if any of you lot know the answer! :wink:

7 tables, well names for the tables that is.
Now these ear people read lots of books so perhaps authors but that will be a bit boring.
We had light houses last time, any idea's.
Oh and mainly teams are all lady's and are very posh.

Bye Bye Reg
