Do you remember that year Dessie Haynes came over and opened for us and we won the CC? I think I was at uni. Was it around 1990?
I loved him.
But imagine if we had Gordon Greenidge instead of Zak? That would be perfect. Could defend like Boycott or Sunni G but also Bazball a double ton in a day.
Him and Dessie are still my all time fave opening pair.
Won it twice with him 90 and 93 - he was there for five seasons. My favourite overseas player for Middlesex (with Wayne Daniel a very close second) - also a lovely guy.
Agree about Haynes and Greenidge though from a England point of view Strauss and Tresco weren't bad either
