Topics

Could Pardon have made the comparison with Grace that you quote somewhere else? The Grace obituary is available here:

[1]

but it doesn't seem to contain the bit that you quote.

I don't have those Wisdens with me now, so I am writing from memory. Wisden 1916 contained two articles on Grace - a proper obituary by Pardon and this tribute which is written by Lord Harris ~~or Hawke~~, plus a huge statistics section. Pardon's obit is not reproduced at the Wisden site. (As a matter of fact, I am not sure whether Wisden mentions Pardon's name but Eric Midwinter attributes it to him in the last chapter of his W G Grace : His life and Times). Pardon's article - with the lines quoted in the Fuller Pilch - appears in Benny Green's Wisden Book of Cricketers' Lives, which is a collection of Wisden obituaries (and which I have with me at the moment).

I'll leave a note in Johnlp's talk page. He has a huge collection of Wisdens and should be able to confirm it. Tintin (talk) 14:56, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'm happy. JH 15:50, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have Wisden 1916 (I go back to 1925 and acquire them at a rate of about two a year, so I may get there in 2011!) But I do have Benny Green's Wisden Anthology 1900-1940 and that reproduces both Lord Harris's tribute and SHP's obit. The words Tintin quoted are indeed in the SHP obit.

The Duckworth Lewis Method

This is dangerously close to "Fuller Pilch in popular culture"! However, thought I'd record here that Pilch is given a mention in the second verse of "Gentlemen and Players" by The Duckworth Lewis Method. Loganberry (Talk) 19:31, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent! (I can't help thinking that having the titles of two srticles distinguised only by whether "method" is capitalised isn't a very good idea, though.) JH (talk page) 20:06, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
