We used to beat (and thrash) every team in those days

Stevie Powell - boy wonder a total ram 

Toddy was a class act in every single game he played for us

Lovely striker partnership. A pleasure to have seen them in rams  shirts

Colin Todd debut.

I really enjoy checking this thread!
This didn't jump out in my memory at all like most forest Derby games do. Just watched the highlights back and it came flooding back to me.
Let's hope CKR can dominate them tonight the way Rasiak did that season!
Well worth a watch:

My 50th Birthday Party. We were losing and then stormed back. Remember going out in to the car park to get the results on the radio. Set me up for a good night ?

Derek Underwood would be perfect right now!
Spin has been marginalised for too long in the county game. Spin bowling is focussed more on the one day game where persistent line and length would be punished.
The hope is that Bess and Leach learn enormously from this test series. I was hoping Moeen would be a match winner but it’s now clear that he was perhaps not firing on all cylinders and that must be tough. 
 
I know from football and cricket tours of my past that by the end of the weekend you’re getting a bit ratty with each other. Imagine being in a bubble with the same guys for months!
 
We should enjoy the cricket first and hope for an England win second. I don’t mind spin on day three but playing on a surface more suitable for boules isn’t on.
