Anyway, I think we can all agree on one thing. And that is that...

Same with Wood - who I think has shortened his run and bowls quicker. Easy to be seduced by the whole Holding thing but he was probably just a wonderfully smooth freak

Michael Holding must be one of the coolest men on Earth. I love listening to his dulcet tones when he's in the commentary box. Sadly never got to see him bowl, though.

My first memory of West Indian fast bowling was being taken to Lord's to watch Ambrose and Walsh do their thing. They signed my programme which must be gathering dust somewhere.

He was lightning quick, but most pros feared Marshall more because his whippy arm action could generate huge pace and bounce off not much off a good length. Marshall hit a terrifying number of batsmen quite badly as a consequence.

County pros used also to fear Sylvester Clarke of Surrey. He could amble in off a relatively short run and generate extreme hostility, pace and bounce. He couldn't be arsed doing it for long, but when he was up for it, he was frightening.

Saw more of Wayne Daniel than Clarke but similarly he scared the **** out batsman (with Norman Cowan doing the same at the other end) - genuinely brilliant cricket

Middlesex had a ridiculous attack back in the day. Daniel, Cowans and Neil Williams.

Shame their batting involved the appalling to watch Clive Radley, though.

Oh - out of order B. Won us two cup finals at least including the 1985 B&H which I was at. Second last sporting event I went to with my dad. The last one was England Australia rugb - that went less well
