      I've got a book by Don Oslear somewhere where he says he once received his list of fixtures for the next county season while he was visiting New Zealand. He showed the list to NZ's top test umpire who said "That's more cricket than I've umpired in my whole career!"

    1. Hroth

      Hroth

      As far as I can see English Cricketers treat overseas tours as paid-for holidays with a little light cricketing thrown in.
