Goochie and the pet shop

On day three of the Adelaide Test (this is cricket by the way) Graham Gooch, England coach was interviewed about the team's good batting performance and asked about his "pet shop purchase". My motherly heart swelled with pride when he gave full credit to "Frank Thorogood of Writtle, near Chelmsford in Essex" who developed the Sidearm which Gooch is using to give his batsmen "intense" practise sessions. England won the Test (but even I have to say that they also bowled pretty well).
