Greatest moment for Sundown Specials	First ever ball I bowled for them in 1991. I hadn’t played for eight years so my first delivery was naturally thwacked into the ground at my toes. Fortunately it hit a stone and reared up into the bat’s helmet grille, and he went down like a citizen of Maryland…I’ve opened the bowling ever since.
Greatest Strop witnessed at Specials match	Umpire who didn’t like Dave Reed calling him a cheat… the ump picked up Dave’s bat and waved it in his face. Dave took his trousers off and stood there with his jock-strap protruding and inquired if the umpire would like that bat shoved up his arse. I think Dave had been given out LBW…
