• The 1993 side contained several players who were to go on to play professional cricket - Nick Wilton Sussex; Owais Shah, Middlesex and England; Aaron Laraman, Middlesex ; Stephen Peters, Essex and Worcestershire; and Robert Key Kent and England.
• Whilst the Under 14 Regional selectors saw great promise in Robert Key he was not selected by the Under 15 selectors in 1994. Neither were Wilton and Laraman.
• Selection is a very personal thing. Luckily the decision did not deter the players.
• I would not however wish to claim that it was quite clear that Robert Key would score 174 not out playing versus an Australian side in 2002.
