Was at Trent Bridge today in the library and the Notts historian, Peter Wynne-Thomas, told me about a gentleman of the 20s and 30s who, as was common in the era, raised mercenary teams of internationals to play county sides in bona fide first-class fixtures. He had a ground on Loughbrough Rd, West Bridgford (still there, PWT recently lobbied for pavilion to be restored not razed). Name? Sir Julian Khan, recently described in some book or other as "the worst ever first-class cricketer".Scott Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13538172265090774038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4507111563956285303.post-87277085573009909822012-02-29T03:17:23.450-08:002012-02-29T03:17:23.450-08:00Mick Karn: late of Japan, and sadly (and recently)...Mick Karn: late of Japan, and sadly (and recently) late of this mortal coil (the state of being, not the group). Player of warpy fretless bass behind David Sylvian's underblown vocals. Such bass playing is one of many phenomena that appeared beautiful and revolutionary in the early 1980s, but by the end of the decade became repetitive and tedious, eventually becoming "iconic" of the era - to the extent that to dislike the phenomenon is now such a cliche that it is almost as annoying as the phenomenon was in the first place. Much like David Gower's wafts outside the off stump.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263300799761107648noreply@blogger.com
