When Boycott posed as WG Grace

Frank Keating in The Guardian looks back at the 1981-82 England tour when Boycott moaned; Willis read the complete works of Wodehouse and Gower and Botham were on perpetual lookout for "something drinkable".

It seemed as vivid as yesterday when my friend, with a chuckle, recalled the moment we first met - sniggering at Geoffrey Boycott at the tour's official welcoming party off Marine Drive's dramatic lamplit curve, alongside the ocean, which they still call Queen Victoria's necklace.
