Nope.Any pics showing how much losing to the Windies meant to him?
Where did you get that pic from worbod? Did you scan it out of a magazine? I've been wanting to post it here for ages.Mike Hendrick's second wicket in Test cricket, versus India in 1974, when he removed Madan Lal's off stump and leg stump but somehow the middle remains standing.

The 1984/84 ABC cricket book has a picture of Richie Richardson on his first class debut wearing a baggy green. It was Viv Richards' that he'd swapped with Greg Chappell.Where did you get that pic from worbod? Did you scan it out of a magazine? I've been wanting to post it here for ages.
I know I have it in one of my magazines somewhere (World of Cricket I think) but haven't had the chance to go looking for it.
I looked for it on the internet but couldn't find it there.

Ah, thank you. Great to see it again.I scanned the photo from a book I have titled "The Illustrated History of Test Cricket". There have been a few different versions of the book. I have one copy from 1976, 1978 and another updated version from 1985. I have included a photo of the cover of the 1978 version in case you aren't familiar with the book. The 1976 version has Jeff Thomson on the front cover.

The Madan Lal photo comes from the chapter titled "Test cricket from 1971", in which the Test series from the 1970s are dealt with in chronological order.

Hmmm - maybe. Here's Mike Brearley wearing a 'helmet' based on an equestrian-type helmet in a test against Australia in 1977.
