9. Simon HughesThere are many clergymen who have achieved eminence at cricket; one thinks of David Sheppard, Andrew Wingfield Digby and Archbishop Makarios. Funnily enough, the Revd Hughes is not one of them.
When I appointed him to the living at St Asquith’s upon the assumption that he was the bright-eyed, bushy-tailed Middlesex opening bowler who had performed well for me on many occasions. He turned out to be quite another chap. I have never held this against the Revd, but it is the other fellow who makes my XI.

Shum mishtake here?
I suspect Lord B was hoping to field 12 players if the umpires were not on the ball.
I have demoted Hughes to no. 9.
