How would Hollies fare in Twenty20?

Pouring down at Edgbaston. The noon inspection a formality, surely.

That 10 for 49 by Hollies against Nottinghamshire at Edgbaston in 1946, by the way. As if an all-ten isn't a terrific feat in it's own right, Hollies remains one of only two bowlers ever to achieve it in first-class cricket without the involvement of a fielder.

And, as the other, by John Wisden at Lord's in 1850, was for North v South, Hollies is unique as the only player to do it in county cricket.

Nottinghamshire advanced comfortably to 47 without loss then Hollies changed ends and became unplayable, bowling seven chaps and dismissing three lbw.

In the next game, against Leicestershire at Barwell, he took 12 wickets and he ended the season with 175 (more than the rest of the Bears bowlers put together) at 15.16 apiece.

His batting sounds a bit ropey though. In 40 innings he scored 58 runs with a highest score of five not out and an average of 3.05. He'd never cut it in Twenty20.
