When I followed the link to this story's original home, it had disappeared! So here it is in all its dubious glory!Editor’s note: This account of one of the minor cases tackled by Edwardian sleuths Coppersmith and Stewart (or Stewart and Coppersmith as the narrator always referred to them) was recently unearthed among the papers they bequeathed to

Love it!

There’s nothing better than walloping the Aussies at cricket.
Hmph. What a difference a few years makes - the last time I read this the thought of an Australian team being out on Nelson would have been laughable.

BTW Why is Finch not in your test team? We were there on Thursday...ouch!

[calavarna]

I think the problem with Finch is his playing style is similar to David Warner's and there's really only room for one batsman who is equally likely to smash the opposition or get out playing a ridiculous shot.

That, and we've already got openers coming out of our ears. What possessed the selectors to pick five openers I'll never know.

You certainly have an 'interesting' team!

Thank you for re-sharing :D

I had to do it, considering the link had gone down. :)

Great to see that one again!

I spotted a typo: “You should see what it’s like at down at Hove when the tide turns to the flow.” 'at down at'?

Then again it's always great to see your boys.

Oh, thank you. Will amend toot sweet. :)

*hugs*

Enjoyed the vignette!

That was fun getting this little mystery with Jonty and Orlando from first person perspective. Thank you!

My pleasure. I hope the cricket bits didn't put you off - unless they converted you to the beautiful game, of course!
