Actually, the last one is a joke, but I have played with guys who'd have walked on an lbw appeal if someone a bit rapid was operating.
I did once face a young chap from Trinidad who was frighteningly quick and far too good for our league. He bowled left arm round the wicket at my throat for about four overs with not a single ball in my half. I couldnt even get out, he was getting so much seam movement I couldnt even get a nick on it. He bowled one on to the pads which I flicked for four and that only made him angrier.

The only time in my cricketing career that I was ever actually quite frightened. I got out to a fat spinner a few overs later.....

I am racking my brains but I cant think of a single time when I actually walked.....
