Cricket 1978 England V New Zealand 1st Test Highlights

[@terranceparsons5185]

Interesting to see so many 3's scored back then.

[@terranceparsons5185]

102 in 37 overs, so it must be a one day game then!

You wouldn't guess the NZ wicket keeper was only 23 years old at the time.

How many times was Brearley out like that! Hangs his bat out, gets a nick, a rapid head turn to see the keeper/slip catch it, tuck the bat umder his arm and trudge off.

[@johntate5722]

I used to do just that as an impression of him

I still think Jock Edwards is the worst international keeper I have ever seen. Club wicket keepers were/are better than his standard. I saw New Zealand play several times during the '78 tour. At Canterbury against Kent and two days of the second test at Lords (my first visit there age 13). I have an autograph book full with the names of the NZ tourists, who included amongst their number some who can't have been well known in their own homes! Of these autographs one was a particular puzzle for years. It read as "Gory Trup", but was actually that of a player named Gary Troup (though he will always be 'Gory Trup' to me).

Troup came back i think to play in the 79 world cup
