July 2004 next and a toe into one of the more positive UCLES* seasons in recent memory. A feature of this season was Johan Visage. Visage - something of a warm vanilla ice cream with the bat and a mouthful of broken glass with the ball - was one of the finest fielders ever to strap into the UCLES harness and once ran a player out at St Catz whilst fielding at Kings and Selwyn.
July 2004 was still resonating with Iraq, 9/11, nervous flights and white powder so we're best steering well clear of the Wikipedia wall of wonder, 'cept to say that Shane Warne equalled Muttiah Muralitharan's world record of 527 test wickets in Cairns.
UCLES were Lawrence, Wylie, Linsdell, Monk, Dagless, Bean, Danson, Siyambalapitiya, Visage, Robinson, Streather.
