I’ll never tire of watching that footage, it’s brutal, almost cruel, but can’t recall seeing it live. It was the Saturday night, wasn’t it? Odd bits of that summer, the first I watched pretty much all of, as seven / eight year old, have stayed with me forever. In this game it’s Selvey’s early wickets, Greenidge’s two hundreds and, strangely, Frank Hayes being out first ball. Wasn’t there a dropped catch in the cordon on the hat-trick ball? The things you remember and all that. Maybe the Close / Edrich battering was deemed not suitable for family viewing 😊
