Graham Dilley's role in the Headingley victory are often overlooked - a crucial 50, his first and indeed only one, during which he matched Botham's hitting, and a very well judged catch on the boundary in Australia's 2nd innings to remove Rodney Marsh.
How to impress a then eleven year old leaving junior school. Beefy was my hero during my formative years! I am now aged fifty four. Dilley, Marsh and Willis all now deceased.
The best of CMJ. What a triumph it would be for him if hes still batting at 6 o'clock this evening. The worst of CMJ. Thinking a crisp packet born on the wind is flying papers.
He played 30 Test matches and averaged 26.6. Dyson has the lowest average by an Australian batsman scoring 1000 runs in a top 6 position since 1910. The next lowest is Ed Cowan with 31.3
Always worth anyone's time. Thank-you!

On a par with, "They think it's all over."

The most remarkable test match ever
Vague waft outside off, nervous glance back at slips, bat tucked under arm. Brearley the batsman!

John Dyson is a mystery man to me. Good bat, gun outfield... didn't play long enough.
