Smarting from a first-rate set up the previous test, Brian Johnston exacts revenge on Aggers by setting up a spoof 'live' TV discussion with Fred Trueman and Jack Bannister - both having been instructed to be thoroughly uncooperative with the interviewer....

Bless Aggers here. In the early 80's he bowled high 80's. Not rockets, but quick enough to be considered fast. Saw him in a Leicestershire V Worcestershire match where he did a Mark Wood and get a bouncer over the keepers head one bounce for 4. Keeper was stood a good pitch length back as well.
