WG Grace.

It is a little known fact that Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, was a cricketer of some repute and played in ten first class matches representing the MCC.
He proudly wrote a poem after one match:
'Once in my heyday of cricket,
Oh Day, I shall ever recall,
I captured that glorious wicket,
The greatest, the grandest of all.'

Indeed - his only career wicket was a certain Dr WG Grace! PHEW!

  BUT. Was he though? Please watch and come to a rational and honest decision. This interview typifies the man.                             ...
