Nick Knight

And he turned around to Roddy Marsh and said, "You see this arse of mine? You're gonna be looking at this for a long time, so you might as well get used to it." [laughs] Um, but yeah, as I say, everyone's got a story to tell on their debut, and it's been brilliant bringing some of those stories to life really.

Um, the, the worst one as well, um, Nick Knight made his debut in 1995 against the West Indies at Old Trafford in Manchester, and he made his debut against a very, very tough West Indian side.

Had Ambrose, Walsh, Kenny Benjamin was in the side.

Ian Bishop was in that side as well.

The sun was reflecting off the greenhouses, and they had to come off because the batsman couldn't see the ball.

And it always makes me laugh.

Nick Knight on test debut, all the different threats the West Indies were throwing him at, uh, throwing at him that day, it was the sun in Manchester that stopped play.

Um, so yeah.

[laughs]

You had Nick Knight as well, yeah.

That's cheat code, this.

Yeah.

Do you think we'll ever make our comeback again? I hope so.

I'm watching the ETPL, fancying me and you joining Lenny and Nick Knight on the comms, perhaps, in 2027, perhaps.

I don't know.

Yeah.

So Dennis Amiss, who scored the first One Day International century.

Uh, Nick Knight, who played 100 matches, 100 ODIs for England.

Uh, very good, uh, limited overs player, wasn't he? Uh, Adil Rashid, good captain he was.

And I spoke to John Emery.

And to have been, um, included within it as a player was all the more exciting.

But yeah, at one stage, Geoff, I took a photo of my spot in the dressing room and sent it to you and then Akshi and Nick and said, "I don't think I can get much more of our Final Word kit in here.

I've got my Duncan Fearnley bat laid out.

I have my Step One X-Cup, uh, cricket pants ready to put on.

Um, but that's a nice thing to be able to give a gift away to somebody.

Yep.

Anyway, um, if you are, get in touch with Nick, email info@finalwordcricket.com, and we'll sort you out.

Right, no pledge time.
