They all offer their anecdotes, humour, memories, heroes and opinions as they tell of Hitler putting an early end to a budding Yorkshire career, a man creating his own cricket ground, a team being called Dusty Fleming's International Hair Stylists, shuddering at the thought of watching cricket while sitting next to Robert Mugabe and an innings of 1,792 not out.
