Just been watching England beating South Africa, and glimpsed Phil Neale during the close-ups of the England dressing room.
He's a long-serving member of the England management team, and hails from Bottesford, near Scunthorpe, started his cricketing career as a boy member of the Appleby-Frodingham team which won the Lincs League championship in the early 1980s (alongside the likes of Salim Uddin).
That was followed by a long spell on Worcestershire's books, including a fair stint as captain of their County Championship team.
He also played football for Lincoln City, as one of the very last batch of professional footballer/cricketers.
