Hon Fixtures Sec turns up at Wickman's secret lair. He watches as Wickman inexpertely attempts to discipline the Wickettes. It's not easy. Wickman needs a lie down. A beer is consumed. Cricket is talked. HFS has come round with stash.
He's come round with a signed bat from a Middlesex team of the last century. Steady on, it was probably the 1990s based on the line-up. Some cracking names there, many of them capped for England, some journalists, one cricket writer, some legends of county cricket and a senior cricket administrator. Gatt, Embers, Gus, Tuffers, Paul Downton, Norman Cowans, Ramps, Roland Butcher, Mike Roseberry, Simon Hughes, John Carr, Neil Williams, Keith Brown and Jamie Sykes (girly writing).
Wickman pops onto Middlesex' wiki entry only to find that Middlesex CCC is a year YOUNGER than The Wick. Yessss. Have it. We'll sign a cut down bat and send it to you boys... in the meantime this is going up on the walls...
