Old Timers

The "bed blockers" comment on another thread prompted this thought.

Skimming through my Playfair annual during a rain break, I can only find two regular county players older than Darren Maddy. That would be Glenn Chapple and Claude Henderson.

Robert Croft is, of course, ancient and John Batty is a few weeks older than Darren but neither of them are automatic choices for their counties any more.

I wouldn't call Darren a bed blocker. I hope he carries on for several more years (and gets to bowl more often). Have I missed any other geriatrics?

I want to see Darren in our team and am mistified why he is never asked to bowl. His bowling helped us win the game at liverpool with his 4 wickets

Darren Maddy's enthusiasm for the game and desire to win is plain for all to see.

As long as that continues I will be glad to see him play for the Bears!

Agreed, his average in the overs he has bowled this season is fantastic, Jim should utilise him more often, criminal that he wasn't given the ball yesterday when Jeets, Wright and Rikki were going for plenty.

He proved his worth again today :001_smile:
