There are two sorts of creases in cricket. And there are slips, but not the petticoat sort of slip. And Silly Mid Offs, who can become Silly Mid Ons depending on the end. For now, this is the end.

A warm early autumn afternoon. A chance discovery of a white elephant sale in a little visited village yard. Not exclusively cricket memorabilia, but predominantly of stuff on that theme. There seemed to be so much on display that I surmised that scarcely anything had attracted buyers. Nowhere was a stall owner to be seen; no-one emerged as I rummaged. The quietness was dense. One of those strange moments which seemed of little significance at the time. A cursory glance at this and that, I took a couple of photographs, and that was that. Yet curiously the memory is strong and persistent, like a ghost smiling across a crowded room.
