For the purposes of heckling (sorry, offering words of encouragement) he had a particularly satisfying sounding name ....

We may complain about Surrey's bowling attack from time to time, but I remember attending a cc match when Roope opened the bowling for Surrey. He may have been a tad better than, say, Jonathan Trott, but he was definitely very much a back up bowler.

And around forty years on, The Brain opens the bowling in a CC match!
