Deep, Backward, and Square

"I am careful, when I am organising school cricket, to train a scorer, from the ranks of the unathletic but scholarly, who will show enough interest in the game, as well as in his tea, to be used in 'away' matches. I prefer one who is both a mathematician and a boy of firm character, with a fondness for washing and good table manners." GD Martineau. The field is full of shades. 1946.
