Correct - I was there at Lord's v Kent.
Kent were cruising to victory until Jack flew through the air to take the catch.
Someone said, "He's dropped it!" I said, "No, his hat fell off!"
After that Kent crumbled and Lancs won.
I think it was the middle one of 3 successive Gillette titles.
Those were the days!
I wasn't there for the final Swoop but I was at Old Trafford for the semi against Gloucestershire when David Hughes hit 24 off one over in the dark.
