Edward Ralph ‘Ted’ Dexter. Cambridge University, Sussex & England 1956-1968. Eight pages of notes written by Dexter for an article for the Sunday Mirror reporting on the 4th Test, England v West Indies, at Headingley 22nd- 27th July 1976. Reporting on the third day’s play Dexter describes ‘a crazily unpredictable morning’s play. At the start Tony Greig was eleven short of his hundred, thirteen were needed to save the follow-on and there was the imminent threat of a new ball for the West Indian fast bowlers’. He describes Greig reaching his century with four overthrows, his first century as England captain, and Alan Knott surviving two dropped catches before reaching the same milestone. Ex Irving Rosenwater collection. Contained in an envelope with title in Rosewater’s hand. Very good condition.
