	Wilfred Rhodes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wilfred Rhodes (born October 29, 1877, North Moor, Kirkheaton, near Huddersfield, Yorkshire; died July 8, 1973, Branksome Park, Poole) was one of the greatest cricketers of the twentieth century.
		Rhodes, then a teenager, had shown great promise both as a right-handed batsman and a left-arm spin bowler, and Yorkshire took him into their eleven for the first match of 1898.
		In 1930, Rhodes played in the early matches with only moderate success either with bat or ball, and with Hedley Verity coming into the team in July and heading the first-class bowling averages, he was in and out of Yorkshire side and announced he would retire at the end of the year.

		Wilfred Rhodes was Yorkshire cricket personified in the great period of the county's domination, shrewd, dour, but quick to seize an opportunity.
		Twenty-four years afterwards, Rhodes in his forty-ninth year was recalled to the England XI and was one of the main causes of Australia's defeat and England's emergence from years in the wilderness.
		In rainy weather, c Tunnicliffe b Rhodes was familiar proof that Wilfred was at work on a sticky pitch, for Tunnicliffe was the best slip fielder of the century, a long giant with a reach into infinity.

		History suggests England have taken a long time to learn the lesson that youth can be trusted (if, indeed, they really have, for at Anderson’s age, many Asian prodigies are already well into their careers).

	The Family Way - Nostalgia Central (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		This overlooked gem of 1960s filmmaking is a beautiful, bittersweet story of newlyweds Jenny (Hayley Mills in her first adult role) and Arthur (Hywel 'Shelley' Bennett) who are unable to consummate their marriage because of a cancelled honeymoon and frustrating difficulties caused by too-close-for-comfort in-laws.
		Best known for its fine, Paul McCartney-penned score, and for Hayley's brief flashes of nudity (and her scandalous off-screen romance with director Roy Boulting, 33 years her senior) The Family Way is a film that straddles two eras.
		There are characters here (such as Wilfred Pickles' Uncle Fred) who wouldn't look out of place in an Ealing comedy.

	All-round efforts that made the county great
		To contend that Rhodes or George Herbert - for it was never just 'George' - was the greatest all-rounder of all, however, overlooks the Gulliver otherwise known as Garry Sobers, arguably the greatest cricketer to have walked the planet.
		If Sobers was indeed unsurpassed, there is no doubt that Hirst and Rhodes were up there on his coat-tails, and that their longevity was almost as remarkable as their triumphs, with both playing first-class cricket well into their fifties.
		It was for his bowling, however, that Rhodes was principally revered.
