Last Tuesday saw the funeral of Fred Titmus, and at his wake John Murray proposed a toast. He mentioned the BBC appreciation and the contribution therein of Geoffrey Boycott, whose capacity to turn any situation to one about himself is unrivalled. Fred, said Geoffrey, was a good bowler ("Good!" snorted JT in derision) but he couldn't recall ever getting out to him. So to boost what is clearly an ailing memory, I offer, for starters, the following: Lord's, 1967, b Titmus 24; Lord's, 1971, b Titmus 6; Middlesbrough, 1974, c Edmonds b Titmus 24 and lbw Titmus 63 (please God let it be sweeping); and Lord's, 1974, b Titmus 8. Hope that helps, Fiery.
