Would agree with this, especially before Australia became too dominant (even then they drew some great performances fom others). Also, Sri Lanka emerging and Zimbabwe briefly threatening to. Shame England weren't better but they still had some great matches and series.

I think there's also a short period of the 90s where the top end of Test cricket was as competitive (rather than dominated by a team) as it has been in a long time.

90s - the end of the Windies era, beginning of the Australian era - the re-entry of South Africa - plenty of test cricket in the calendar because no T20 - many all-time greats began their careers in the 90s

Admittedly, the 90s coincided with my teenage years and we always think stuff was best when we were that age, but the bowling tandems in that decade were something else. Wasim/Waqar, Curtly/Courtney, Donald/Pollock, Warne/McGrath.

They say the Golden Age of Cricket was the late Victorian / Edwardian period, when cricket really was the top sport in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and W.G. Grace had a Beatle-like fame. Whether that includes test cricket is more debatable, of course, because 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, 🇦🇺 and 🇿🇦 were then the only test-playing nations.

1970s...the decade of the fast bowler..from the targetted aggression of the aussies to the majestic rise of the west indies. A decade of broken ribs and purple bruises for the brave english batters.

I really want Somerset to win their first County Championship, although I appreciate it's a difficult task going into the final round. As an Essex supporter, division one survival is the most I can hope for! Some batting bonus points would be nice.

A glos win to continue their mini resurgence after a difficult year or two, and along the way consign Lancashire to bottom of the table perhaps!

Abdul Qadir. First quality leg spinner I ever saw. The absolute confusion on the English batters faces in 1982 was priceless. Even more lethal when he has playing at home

Mudassar Nazar. Proper opening bat. Solid medium pace bowling which could be very effective in one day games. Genuinely talented all rounder who went under the radar a bit

Tunbridge Wells used to be beautiful but has fallen on hard times. Merchant Taylor School next Thursday and for the first time. Sedbergh School must be up there.
