PLEASE NOTE: The phase 1 answers in the July issue of Wisden Cricket Monthly contain three errors-

  • The answer to question 3 is not 0, the correct answer is 1
  • The answer to question 7 is not A Middlesex, the correct answer is B Nothants
  • The answer to question 8 is not 5, the correct answer is 6

    We apologise for any confusion.

    DAVID ROBINSON, the phase one winner of Reality Cricket, knows all about conflicts of interest. He is a Yorkshireman who moved to Nottinghamshire in 1977 and is now a member of Trent Bridge. "I regard Trent Bridge as my second home," says Robinson, "but if it was Notts v Yorks in a one-day final, I'd have to support God's own country, Yorkshire."

    Not surprising then that this social services manager, who works with disabled foster children, has a lot of time for Lancastrian-born Yorkshireman Michael Vaughan. "I went to Australia last winter and it was the first time I'd followed the cricket abroad," says Robinson. "Vaughan's century in Adelaide was the cherry on the cake."

    A newcomer to Reality Cricket, Robinson had a go because "it adds an extra interest to the season" and he followed the answers as the competition went along – although his success still came as a surprise. He did especially well to foresee Mark Butcher's high-scoring efforts in the first Test. "I thought the others were too obvious and I wasn't sure Vaughan and Trescothick would provide the goods. But I fancied Butcher because he'd scored a century in his last Test," says Robinson. He also took "an inspired guess" that Scotland would win at least one of their two matches against Middlesex and Derbyshire. That inspired guess helped take him five points clear at the top of the table and won him a bat signed by the England and Zimbabwe teams, courtesy of the PCA.
