Ok, so next up we head back to July 2003 and a clash with Remnants.
These fixtures used to be annual affairs (indeed we played them twice in 2003) but the relationship has since broken down due to 'irreconcilable differences'.
The wider, global picture is one of war, war and more war - so let's not dwell. Let's enjoy instead the Minister of Justice in Finland who on the same day that UCLES played Remnants suggested that there should perhaps be legalised brothels for handicapped people. Bless Wikipedia...
At Edgbaston, the wicket was being prepared for messrs Smith and Gibbs to put on 338 for the first wicket in the 1st test. Smith did however fail embarrassingly in the second innings. Ok, so he made 85, but he was bowled by Ashley Giles.
Back in Cambridge, the UCLES side (note there was no need for an * at this stage) was Lawrence (c), Wylie, Bean, Linsdell, Siyambalapitiya, Soames, Briggs, Barber, Danson and Thighe.
Have we ever played with 11...?
