Brilliant, thanks.
Ain't technology wonderful.

Last time I cruised the Leeds& Liverpool canal, Fred was still chuntering away on TMS..

" Ah dunno, these posh young lads come into cricket from their oity-toity schools. ... And
They don't know nowt about, ' t game.......!"

Think he was talking about David Gower.

It does look like Jimmy Anderson (not Adamson) and the bowling action is the same

But it is Freddie Trueman

Actually , unusually for me , recognised it right away . Think sculptor got it just right . Never really into cricket but Freddy Trueman was one of those iconic sporting figures you couldn't ignore

Truman: 'Well, Geoffrey, when tha's got a long thick nail, thau needs a big 'ed for 'ammer to drive it home ...'

We felt duty bound to watch it because our son did the sound recording on the first series and a bit of the more recent one.

I have to say I enjoyed it, by and large, but could have clouted a couple of the tired buggers round the lug . Apparently Freddie is very much what you see is what you get. Wonder how he'll get on with Bullseye?

Cheers
