Guys Hair certainly does his homework but then gets all mixed up. Clearly, we have a war of attrition on our hands. Take a look at my other questions too. Can someone enlighten us on what Grace would have said, or will say to Hair's Avatar?
P.S. Dr Grace was the first great cricketer - active around 1890.

I think I'd better explain that Dr W.G. Grace is considered to be the first great cricketer. He was active for about thirty years centering about 1890. He played played Test matches for England, against Australia, the only other country then.
Grace was a bearded autocrat. He was once rightly given out very early by the umpire. He glared at the poor man, walked up to the guy, and towering over him, said,
"Look here, you worm. All those people have come to watch me bat, not to see you umpiring. I'm batting for the next two hours."
I've made up the dialogue. Can a scholar of English *** cricketer make up the rest?"
