Suffolk Teenage
In my day 58 beers between London and Sydney would have virtually classified you as a teetotaller" - Ian Chappell, after batsman David Boon drank 58 cans of beer on the flight from Australia to England etc. etc. but Billy was being uncharacteristically quiet, and so the teacher asked him about his Father.

I suppose I can gain some consolation from the fact that my name will be permanently in the record books" - Malcolm Nash after being hit for six sixes in an over by Gary Sobers in 1968 I don't ask my wife to face Michael Holding, so there's no reason why I should be changing nappies" - Ian Botham It was rather a pity Ellis got run out at 1107, because I was just striking a length" - Arthur Mailey, who took 4-362 during Victoria's record score
