The one who dropped too many
|
|
Reverend David Sheppard was in Australia with the 1962/63 MCC team. It was not the happiest tour for him. He dropped far too many catches.
A story was going around that a young English couple, who had settled in Australia, were due to have their first-born christened.
The husband suggested that it would be nice if they got David Sheppard to do it for them.
"Oh no, " said the horrified wife, "not likely, he would only drop it! "
