The first part of this story is unquestionably the most interesting part: The Day Garfield Sobers Watched Me & Z/Yen Play Cricket – click here.
Which is a shame in a way, because really the whole day was spectacularly good and enjoyable for the Z/Yen team.
After our morning session in the Lord’s Cricket Academy, during which Garry Sobers watched us play cricket…have I mentioned that point before?…
…perhaps the rest of the day’s story is best told by way of a photo diary, with thanks to Monique Gore for the photographs…







All of the photos from the day can be found here.
The scorecard from the match can be found here.
I have only one abiding memory from the afternoon, other than those captured in the photos above and me sinking into a glorious oblivious haze of relaxation arising from exercise, food and wine. Owais Shah’s agent, John E Barnett, for some reason “joined” us in our box for quite time, waxing lyrical about his boy Owais, enjoying our afternoon tea hospitality and watching Owais Shah himself score a top notch century.
