In his first spell (and I can't think why we went) my Dad took us to Leicester where he scored a fantastic double hundred. At least that's what I remember, though I was only just out of primary school.<br /><br />Three years later (DeFreitas home debut?) I saw him do similar to a mediocre Durham attack at Queens Park. Days of cricket, with no other worries, got little better in those days.Tim, Chesterfieldnoreply@blogger.com
