@BumbleCricket I have always regarded Washbrook as my favourite player and greatly admired Atherton, but Ernest Tyldesley is the only Lancashire batter to complete over 100 centuries.
@lancscricket@Athersmike I can absolutely relate to what Michael Atherton said. I am 79 and made so many friends in the cricket community, many of whom brought learning, experience and genuine friendship.
@lancscricket I played against Jack Simmons at Blackpool CC in 1960; with Frank Hayes for the UAU v S. African Universities; against John Abraham in 1978 ( I got a pair) and against his Dad, Cec, at Milnrow in 1962.
