It was the third Test against the West indies and there was nothing else for me to do. So I watched the cricket and my obsession was born.

 

My Test match Debut was shared with Marcus Trescothick scoring 66 and then 38 not out in the match that was eventually drawn because of rain.

The team was...

 

MA Atherton      

ME Trescothick      

*N Hussain       

GP Thorpe         

+AJ Stewart     

MP Vaughan           
C White             

DG Cork                 

RDB Croft            
AR Caddick      

D Gough 

 

29.08.06 - I now feel really old as only two players remain in the squad, and Vaughan is out for injury. Most of the others have actually retired!
