Re: Cricket Prog' Monday 2nd BBC4 7.30
The first game of the Michael Holding season was Rishton v Ramsbottom. I was scoring for Rammy, we had tv cameras in the score box looking over our shoulders. Oh, and for the record. Rammy won.

Did you spot any of Margaret's famous scones?

Just watched this on catch up. Although I am not a cricket fan as such I enjoyed it immensely and as others have said, it warranted a longer programme. No mention/footage of Holding at Rishton amongst many more greats listed above.
Two links for me:
> Jimmy Eland and Val were my next door neighbours for around 12 years when I was teens through to early twenties. Or perhaps even longer. Not once did I know that he was an ex-Accrington cricketer (such was my devotion to filling the sport section of my mind with nothing but Burnley FC at the time!) Sorry to see him not looking so well.
> David Wells is the husband of my cousin Dorothy. Dorothy's dad Tom was a huge Rishton CC fan and loved all the attention Rishton got when Viv came to play
Some great footage of the East Lancs hills too
