I had a chat with him at Headingly in 1993 when England were losing badly to Australia. At the end of the days play, I was waiting for autographs and spotted the TMS box, so went up there.
Spent quite a while chatting about the England bowling attack.

Was that when we inserted and they got about 600?
Indeed it was - 653-4 IIRC (although they won the toss). Border declared on an unbeaten 200...
We were lamenting the loss of an entire generation of fast bowlers, as Fraser was still out injured, Lawrence had knackered his knee etc. And Martin McCague had a stress fracture of his back in that game, too.
