I remember being taken to see South Africa at Old Trafford in the early 1950s, and I'm sure there was some sort of disagreement during the day – my father told me how unusual this was at a cricket match. But I can't track down any trace of it on the Wisden site – can you help? asks Bob Beardmore I vaguely remembered reading about this too, but a look at the South African Tests of the 1950s (they toured in 1951 and 1955) drew a blank. But I had an idea that the rumpus involved Eric Rowan, the prickly South African opener – and when I looked at his obituary, which is on his Player Page on our site, that hunch was confirmed. The obituary says: "But, early on the tour, he [Rowan] and John Waite were slow-handclapped by the crowd at Old Trafford during the Lancashire match. They sat down until there was quiet, and later Rowan was involved in a scuffle in the pavilion."
