Will Gayle honour the house that England built?
My 6ft 6in colleague Angus Fraser and his 6ft 5in counterpart on The Daily Telegraph, Derek Pringle, dropped in – in more ways than one, since, to the wonderment of our children, they both had to duck to get into our kitchen – for an early supper on Thursday. They were on their way to the Rankin Club in the north Herefordshire town of Leominster, five miles from us, to do a turn as the “Grumpy Old Bowlers”, a troupe that sometimes also includes 6ft 4in short-arse Ashley Giles. It was an excellent evening, during which Fraser recalled that following the fifth Test between the West Indies and England in Antigua in 1994, Brian Lara was given a plot of land in his native Trinidad, in recognition of what was then the highest individual Test score of 375. Some years later, Lara invited Angus and a few others to the handsome home that he’d had built there. “This,” he said, giving them a guided tour, “is the Fraser suite, these are the Tufnell kitchens, that’s the Caddick lounge…” One wonder
