It is amazing when you look at stats and wonder how Mike Brealey lasted more than 5 Tests as a player, but then when you have grown up in the era of the Mid 70's and early 80's you appreciate what this Individual did, he completely turned an England Team around by simply talking and listening to players, most of will never forget the 81 Ashes for me still the greatest English Series that I have witnessed in my 40 years of life. Last year was amazing but 81 was special and I if I close my eyes I can still here the roar as Bustling Bob runs in at the Ashes Rabbits!! Botham was a man posessed with both Bat and Ball, you dare not miss a minute when he was involved and that Late Saturday with England staring defeat in the face was probably the Greatest Cricketing Memory that I will ever witness. But back to Mike Brealey without him I don't believe any of this would have been possible, so Mike if you ever read this many thanks for those very special Memories and for your Contribution as one of the Greatest England Captains of any era.Rob
