Early in my club cricket career I remember nicking the ball to the 'keeper and being given not out. The problem was that I knew I'd hit it, the 'keeper knew I'd hit and so did the majority of close in fielders. From that point I vowed I'd always walk if I hit it. I like to think that I kept that vow but like you Prando, latterly in my career, I was also 'told off' for walking when nobody appealed, and that was by the umpire. I think that if I was starting out today I'd leave it up to the umpire to make the decision as not many people do walk today.

As I informed you glm, a mate of mine scores for Leics. twos. When I see him I'll ask him if he remembers the incident with your grandson.
