Twelvetrees 10 Posted January 5, 2007 England's oldest surviving Test cricketer Norman "Mandy" Mitchell-Innes has died aged 92: http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/england/co...ory/274447.html Probably couldn't bear to hang about for today's thoroughly shameful result, and who could blame him! Anyone know who takes the "oldest surviving" mantle now? Ken Cranston (20.10.17) takes the mantle, and is also England's oldest living Test captain. He is the tenth oldest living Test cricketer, according to this list.. Uninteresting trivia. Unlike John 'The Dentist' Maynard, the West Indian fast bowler nicknamed for his ability to remove a batsman's teeth, Ken Cranston actually used to be a dentist.

Guest Guest Posted January 6, 2007 Momofuku Ando The man credited with inventing "pot noodles" has died aged 96. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6237013.stm 96 - perhaps the student diet isn't so unhealthy afterall. Though it doesn't say he actually "ate the slag of all snacks" himself. Then again it must be safer than some Japanese food - I hear they use polonium 210 these days to flavour the wasabi.

Octopus of Odstock 2,180 Posted January 7, 2007 Was mentioned in I&P for 2007 and was selected for the 2006 DDP: A.I. Bezzerides dead at 98. At last - someone I've heard of, dying in 2007. Was on my 1st DDP in 2004, but only because I got him confused with I A L Diamond! He looked like he would make 100, might well have done if not for that fall. I wonder, with the new rules, if he too, was a pick for anyone on the DDP. So that's possibly Kollek & Bezzerides. MIB has chosen someone who IS dead but hasn't got an obit, and FF has chosen someone who is possibly dead but no-one knows. Hmm.. will be interesting when the names are up on the site.
