Wasn't he opening the batting in the series that Dravid and Ganguly made their debuts? Tendulkar, Azharuddin, Dravid, Ganguly, that's about as good a middle order as you can get. I'm trying to remember the other opener then (without looking at the internet). Sikh fella wasn't it? Big beard...

I think I'm on 10 at the moment but that's because I've just started a new career and my player's batting is still a bit rubbish. If I kept getting LBW to the lefties or bowled by spinners pitching it up then I wouldn't get my contract renewed at Newport, let alone play for England one day. I...

I've switched as well and it's great. I'm finding myself playing shots all around the wicket rather than all in two or three areas and I'm not getting frustrated by playing completely inappropriate shots due to the imperfect colour system. Now, if I play a rubbish shot I get annoyed at myself...

relaxedanderson Uploaded the 1948 and 1969 Championship winning Glamorgan teams the other day as well. Bit niche but maybe someone would be interested.

Well, bowling's suddenly clicked. Playing as a batting all-rounder fast bowler I didn't take a wicket through my entire club career (apart from 3 when simming). Got selected for Glamorgan on the back of my batting and didn't take a single wicket in an entire County Championship season. Then I...

I almost think (hope) I'm not the first person to listen to together... Otoboke Beaver - Don't Light My Fire And Virginia O'Brien - Salome I'd love it if I wasn't.

'Postphonic Star Exploration' by Man...or Astro-man? and 'Come Back to Sorrento' by Albert Sandler and his Palm Court Orchestra. I know beyond all possible doubt that I am the only person ever on this planet to play those two records together. (No internet trace of Albert Sandler performing...

I'm liking this 'never been done before combination thing' Surely no-one in the history of the world has ever played 'Bewitched' by Doris Day followed by 'Bank $wiatowy' by Wlochaty. (I had to change the needle for this one)

I know for as cast-iron fact that I am the only person on Planetcricket tonight that has listened to 'Bedtime for Democracy' by Dead Kennedys and the soundtrack for 'Cabaret' back-to-back. I'd even have half a quid on being the only person in history to play 'Bedtime for Democracy' by Dead...

There you go, all done. Just uploaded Surrey, Sussex, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Yorkshire. 374 players in all. Every player to have represented a county in First Class or ListA cricket in the glorious summer of 1993. I'm going to have a rest now. I may or may not do the 1997 teams but...

I think, when I'm done with this, I'll upload a "Worst of the 90s" team. Nick Derbyshire Steve Sylvester Andrew Fothergill James Williams Andy Cottam Stuart Phelps Andrew Jones Neil Sargeant Alex Barnett Jason de la Pena John Hughes Basically, a team so bad that, if they were playing the...

I'm doing Surrey at the moment. Everything's going in alphabetical order so I can keep track of where I am. Of course, this means that Yorkshire will be the last team done. Craig White is my target. Last man in the last team.

Also, just to let you all know, I've started work on the 1997 teams as well (the year the mighty Glamorgan won the County Championship this time). These should come through a lot quicker than the 1993 ones since half the players just carry over from 93 and the kits are a piece of piss because...

Zummerzet just uploaded. Now aaaall youm lot get orf moi laaaand!!!

There you go, Nottinghamshire are up. I've had to cheat and use the current logo for them as there is no way I have the time, skill or patience to do the old one. Funny old team Notts. It wasn't until I started doing this that I realised just how few of their players from the 90s I remember...

Excellent! Looking much better now. I can finally see the pavilion at Lord's. Cheers! Only complaint I have now is why did you have to fix this on the day that I have a huge amount of work to do? If I get the sack I'm holding BA responsible! Edit: Just realised that screenshot looks a bit...

Motoring along now, just uploaded Northants. Nottinghamshire coming up next.

Fallen behind on this recently but just uploaded Lancashire, Leicestershire and Middlesex. Over half-way now.
