David Steele, how those selectors got it so wrong to cast him aside like they did
It was a great pleasure to watch him bat for England,
Think they dropped him for India tour then brouht him back against Windies.....where he scored a ton against Roberts, Holding and Daniel
Marsh calling Randall back in the Centenary Test was the best moment of the decade. What a Test Match that was.

Steele's test career lasted literally just over 12 months.
Aging is right!
Present day England could learn a lot from illingworths England team
