Those were the great days when plenty of amateurs could spare time for cricket.

Lots of times I was out through forcing the game.

It was never a policy of the Kent team that the pitch must be occupied all day after winning the toss.

In the old days we were probably educated in cricket in a far more serious way than now.

I was not depressed when they got me out. I have always taken my dismissals as part of the game.

Square cuts which ordinarily would have flashed to the boundary earned only two, and I believe that those two innings would have been worth 150 apiece in a county match.

It is amazing how the public steadfastly refuse to attend the third day of a match when so often the last day produces the best and most exciting cricket.
