No. 5 in the Red Rose series with a particular Australian interest as it features a 9th wicket stand of 142 in 1907  between Sydney-born pair Les Poidevin (128 not out) and Alec Kermode (52), still a record for Lancashire in county cricket. 12 pages. Card covers. Limited edition (of 30… only 24 of the 30 are available to the public). A5.

At the time Kermode was 31  years of age (he had previously played for NSW twice in 1902) and Poidevin was 30. He’s first played for NSW as a 21 year old and was once 12th man for Australia in Sydney in 1901.
