The only thing I can recall from my day at Headingley in 93 was two blokes stalking Merv around the boundary and shouting "sumo!" at him 😅

@Bobjacket @PaulAtk52540619 @amittalwalkar @SteveSladl @realomerlatif @SanjayS00663282 @kediwins @_AQuietLife_ @CullivanPeter In fact I think in that '89 game Alderman might have got 2 wickets in the first over of England's reply, the second being a debutant Mike Atherton.

It’s one of the most unusual sights in cricket - a stance that looked completely wrong to the eye, almost awkward, almost uncomfortable. Yet Shivnarine Chanderpaul stood there, chest facing the bowler, bat tucked in, looking nothing like the textbook image of a Test batter. For years, critics questioned it. Bowlers tried to figure it out. Viewers couldn’t quite understand it. But the numbers told a completely different story. Chanderpaul finished with 11,867 Test runs in 164 matches at an average of 51.37, including 30 centuries and 66 fifties. He wasn’t flashy. He wasn’t elegant. But he was incredibly hard to dismiss and remarkably consistent over two decades. At a time when West Indies cricket was going through a difficult phase, Chanderpaul quietly became their backbone — holding one end, absorbing pressure, and scoring runs when few others could. His stance may have looked unconventional, but his results were anything but. 📸 Courtesy: JSB K Facts (FB)

@ByronicEnigma @PaulAtk52540619 @amittalwalkar @SteveSladl @realomerlatif @SanjayS00663282 @kediwins @_AQuietLife_ @CullivanPeter good comparison 🙂

@Bobjacket @PaulAtk52540619 @amittalwalkar @SteveSladl @realomerlatif @SanjayS00663282 @kediwins @_AQuietLife_ @CullivanPeter England were totally demoralised by that partnership. It was the equivalent point in the 93 series to that massive Taylor/Marsh opening stand in 89 when they batted through the whole first day without losing a wicket.

Look at this, the Rockback even before he gets to the crease will allow him for effective use of the upper body to generate pace.

@SteveSladl @PaulAtk52540619 @amittalwalkar @realomerlatif @SanjayS00663282 @kediwins @_AQuietLife_ @CullivanPeter Great memories 🙂

@Bobjacket @PaulAtk52540619 @amittalwalkar @realomerlatif @SanjayS00663282 @kediwins @_AQuietLife_ @CullivanPeter As you guys know- I got in for free for about an hour of the Headingley game- but England were batting. I attended part of both tests in which AB scored 200- saw a lot of his innings in Adelaide, none at Leeds.

@Mr_Andrew_Fox The man is a sociopath. Stick him in a Straitjacket for me Andrew.

“Help is coming” Apparently “help” means “the total destruction of Iran” because the US failed to come up with a workable operational plan.

@PaulAtk52540619 @amittalwalkar @SteveSladl @realomerlatif @SanjayS00663282 @kediwins @_AQuietLife_ @CullivanPeter I can picture the scene! 😅

@Bobjacket @amittalwalkar @SteveSladl @realomerlatif @SanjayS00663282 @kediwins @_AQuietLife_ @CullivanPeter The Western terrace began throwing paper and other objects about in their frustration Stop Throwing Rubbish demanded the PA announcer Tell that to t England bowlers. Came a brisk Yorkshire reply. 😎😎😎🏏👍 @_AQuietLife_

@PaulAtk52540619 @amittalwalkar @SteveSladl @realomerlatif @SanjayS00663282 @kediwins @_AQuietLife_ @CullivanPeter That was a famous partnership in my household: it's the only occasion anyone ever saw my Grandad get bored of watching cricket. "It's just so easy for them" he said, whilst grumpily switching the tv off 😅

@Bobjacket @amittalwalkar @SteveSladl @realomerlatif @SanjayS00663282 @kediwins @_AQuietLife_ @CullivanPeter Good calls on both. I watched their partnership at Headingley 93..AB 200 not out..Waugh 157 not out. They looked undismissable..had AB not declared goodness knows how many they would have put on @SteveSladl

@amittalwalkar @PaulAtk52540619 @SteveSladl @realomerlatif @SanjayS00663282 @kediwins @_AQuietLife_ @CullivanPeter I love that! 🙂

@Bobjacket @PaulAtk52540619 @SteveSladl @realomerlatif @SanjayS00663282 @kediwins @_AQuietLife_ @CullivanPeter Rahul Dravid and Steve Waugh - The great wall of china and rock of gibraltar! 😉😅

@PaulAtk52540619 @amittalwalkar @SteveSladl @realomerlatif @SanjayS00663282 @kediwins @_AQuietLife_ @CullivanPeter Interestingly, 2 of those 3 were accused of being selfish (don't think Border ever was). Whether that's fair or not, it indicates just how hard they fought to stay in and make a big score.

@PaulAtk52540619 @amittalwalkar @SteveSladl @realomerlatif @SanjayS00663282 @kediwins @_AQuietLife_ @CullivanPeter Couldn't agree more. The other two on my list are Steve Waugh and Alan Border. Once those two, or Shiv, got in, it needed a very good ball to remove them.

@LabourBerry @EylonALevy You're supposed to be frightened Berry! Iran's missiles can reach London you know! 😅

@EylonALevy What part of we're not joining your illegal war don't you get.

"There is no evidence Iran is going to directly attack Britain." Iran has already attacked sovereign British territory at least twice.

@EdwardHobden @EylonALevy @foxmulder1969 He's a bit dumb is Eylon. Iran is attacking British bases because Britain is bombing Iran. That's not aggression. What does he expect to happen?

@EylonALevy @foxmulder1969 Not Britain then. And, no, we don't want to be part of yet another neo-Con war. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria - all brought suffering, death, chaos, waves of migrants, and no benefit at all to British people

@EylonALevy That's because Britain is attacking Iran you clown. That is how war works

@PaulAtk52540619 @amittalwalkar @SteveSladl @realomerlatif @SanjayS00663282 @kediwins @_AQuietLife_ @CullivanPeter One of the toughest most resilient batsman I have ever seen. When he got to 50, you knew he wouldn't give his wicket away.

@amittalwalkar Well summed up. At times he was on a par with Dravid. Almost undismissable.the times i looked at a West Indies scorecard and it was about 7 wickets down and Chanderpaul not out.. @SteveSladl @realomerlatif @SanjayS00663282 @kediwins @Bobjacket @_AQuietLife_ @CullivanPeter

@Doinkadect he doesn't. It's incomprehensible to him that most of the world think he's a twat

Does… does Trump not realise a central premise of the sketch is that everyone in the UK thinks he’s a moron and wishes Starmer had the guts to tell him to shove it???

@adamjohnsonCHI lol. what a cretin she was

not even close imo

@bguygds @Mr_Andrew_Fox @koshercockney what utter drivel.

Lol That's very untrue. They won't attack directly because in the case of the UK it's easier to send suicide terrorists (which they already have and will most likely continue) and do a hostile take over from within (which they are already doing and UK is basically spreading its legs for such invasion). Thinking they won't attack without being attacked is the funniest thing I've heard and reflects how little you know about the middle east.

“UK has no defences to stop Iranian missiles as it's revealed they can now hit London” Keir Starmer should be ashamed at the way he’s treated Israel and the US. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

@bguygds @Mr_Andrew_Fox @koshercockney THey never will. Unless the UK attacks them. So its an irrelevant threat - even if it exists, which it doesnt

@Mr_Andrew_Fox @koshercockney This is a surprising take coming from you... I don't think they will attack London (I don't think they need to), not directly, but they definitely can.

@Axlol47 @Mr_Andrew_Fox @koshercockney It won't happen, so irrelevant

@Mr_Andrew_Fox @koshercockney They said Hamas can't do shit to Israel and then Oct7th happened. What will UK do if\when missiles are fired at it?

@Mr_Andrew_Fox @koshercockney You're supposed to be frightened Andrew!

@koshercockney “iRaN caN Hit lonDOn” Absolute nonsense
