Talk:Peter Willey

message: Is there any evidence that "The bowler's Holding the batsman's Willey" ever happened?  It's a well known story and it certainly could have happened, but did it?   If so, who said it on air, on what date?  Failing that, when was the first time it appeared in print?   E.g. who was the first commentator to put it in one of their memoirs?
I think this is one of the stories about TMS that may well not be true.  In any case I think the evidence should be cited here.    My strong suspicion is that somebody made it up wishing they had said it, probably Johnners.   The story seems to have got stronger since the "LegOver" incident, since that showed that the most outrageous things could happen on TMS.  But it's notable that the exact date (and time) of that is easily located, while this one is mysterious.     
:BJ *said* he said it (during an interview) but I've never heard a recording of it being
:said during commentary.
