think it might have been the one on TMS which I tuned into when bored but dismissed as too parochail to bother continuing listening to! |  | |  |

Reminds me of when journalist Alan Gibson, who liked a few sherbets, was covering Essex V Surrey at Chelmsford in 1983. Rain prevented any play until the 3rd day & Essex were bowled out for 287. Gibson knew there would be only time for a dozen or so overs so he filed his copy, instructing the sub editor to put at the end "In reply Surrey scored -".
Gibson retired to the pub & discovered the next morning that Surrey had been bowled out for 14. |  |

I remember that match. Norbert Phillips took a lot of the wickets, if I recall correctly. |  | | |

Yep Phillips and Foster demolished them, including Sylvester Clark who apparently came out to bat with his hair still full of shampoo and no socks on. |  |

Yes Phillip took 6-4 & Foster 4-10.
Surrey made 185-2 following on the next day. Maybe Alan Gibson turned up, bleary eyed, and assumed this was Surrey's first innings? | |
