Ernie Wise - was he actually funny?

Lancashire 163 for 4. Laxman 22, Sutton 6.

Lancashire cricket manager Mike Watkinson is temporarily umpiring in place of Nigel Cowley who has experienced chest pains and will undergo surgery next weekend. John Holder is on the way as a replacement.

Thomas and Botha are bowling. It's overcast so the ball should swing. One wonders how Ernie Wise's career would have unfolded had he not met Eric Morecambe.

Probably like Jonathan Trott's since he met Greatbach.

Paul:

Bit of an obsession about Ernie Wise Mr H?
Almost gets as many mentions as that wretched Action Man deserter.

I came from a poor family. One Christmas things were so tight that mum and dad gave me an empty box and told me it was an action man deserter.
