Ditto...

And if this isn't from a reliable source...you don't want to know what I am thinking....
 
Correct!

This was the famous Test match where Jim Laker pulverised the Australians by getting 19-90. Johnson tried to get play suspended but he was unsuccessful.

Who was he talking about?

A quick search on Google for "jim laker" sawdust, brings up 3 entries, none of which contain this incident. I would have thought that such an incident would be mentioned in the match report.

Just as a guess, knowing how much Pelham Warner admired the man, you could be talking about John Barton King, better known as Bart King. That's without bothering to look it up though.
 
or is it Douglas Jardine that he was talking about...he was opposed to Bodyline but he liked the man!
