Blast from the past, the second

When Warner and Rogers left the pavilion separately this morning to bat at the Oval, a commentator was reminded of the days of the Gentlemen and Players, who disappeared (allegedly) from English cricket 50 years ago.

So I found this piece from Wisden which tells the tale.

PS as I write, Warner is out for 6. Is he an amateur?

    I for one am delighted that the Aussies appear to be making a game of it, time will tell.

  2. Yes, it was a strange decision by Cook and co. to pick two newcomers to face Oz. On this wicket there could be two very big scores and no result.

  3. First big score against 3 bowlers. Now for England. Can they avoid losing wickets tonight?
