	The Colin Cowdrey lecture by Sunil Gavaskar
		Colin showed that it could be played with great skill and grace in the toughest of conditions and against the hardest of opponents, and still have a smile and appreciation for the opponent.
		Colin is perhaps the only cricketer to have played Test cricket for 20 years.
		The thing about Colin was he was always anxious to know what the players felt about the game they were playing and how to improve it.

		Colin’s parents met at a cricket club and, when he was born on Christmas Eve 1932, he was — famously — given the initials MCC, just in case anyone doubted his destiny.

		Cowdrey’s fifth Ashes tour, his fourth as vice-captain, was a miserable one, even though the Ashes were won.

		Colin was vastly amused to be greeted in America by someone who understood cricket and happily signed the note which the driver had quickly written.
		Colin was a man of unfailing charm and generousity and during the whole of the time I knew him I don't think I ever saw him really angry.

		Michael Colin Cowdrey was successively known to the world as Michael Cowdrey - when Wisden reported on him as a 13-year-old schoolboy prodigy - Colin Cowdrey, Sir Colin and finally Lord Cowdrey, when he became the first English cricketer to be given a peerage.
		Colin's parents met at a cricket club and, when he was born on Christmas Eve 1932, he was - famously - given the initials MCC, just in case anyone doubted his destiny.
		Their friendship was solid - May's seniority was unquestioned and he was steadily fading out of the game - so Cowdrey still had every reason to assume he would return to the captaincy with the same certainty that characterised his rise to it.
