@sabstand @yorkshirepost @leicsccc @YorkshireCCC @SeanMJarvis That’s inexcusable and inflammatory in my opinion. Think LCCC should be making feelings known to the publication.

1/2 Abhorrent article in @yorkshirepost. I think someone is envious of @leicsccc winning. @YorkshireCCC maybe used to fans exiting like there's a fire alarm or playing in an environment akin to a library, but we stay to the end regardless. @SeanMJarvis

@pushkar_g_singh Superb summary. I always felt there was something human and vulnerable about the man. This news has made me very sad

100 tests, 6,744 runs at 44.66, 16 💯 These stats indicate a very good batsman, albeit not an all time great, but surely someone who would find a place in any XI in the history. However, numbers tell only a part of Graham Thorpe’s story. They don’t tell us that he kept a shaky English lineup afloat in an era muddled with selection blunders. They don’t tell us how important he’s for the team’s cause. They don’t tell us how big a match winner he was. He debuted in 1993 Ashes series at home, a series when England were steamrolled 4-1 by Australia. It was when England first saw Warnie. Over the next 15 years, Warnie had a hold over the old enemy unlike anything seen in the history. Before every ashes series against Warnie, the only question was the loss margin of England. We pondered if England would lose 3-1 or 4-0. A series loss was a given. Thorpe played his entire cricket in this era against a great Australia team led by McGrath and Warne. In a time when his peers averaged in 20s and early 30s vs Australia, he averaged 46. He started with a magnificent 114* at Nottingham in 1993, kept Warnie at bay and helped Gooch eke out a respectable draw in a 4-0 hammering. He scored 3 fine Ashes 💯, played in 5 Ashes series (just one test each in his final two Ashes) and always ended on the losing side. He averaged 46 in his debut series and made 3,000+ runs in last 40 tests at 55. He averaged 45 at home and 44 away. He made his runs at a stupendous 63 in 38 out his 100 tests that England won. His bat decided the English fortunes. He retired just before the iconic 2005 Ashes when England reclaimed the urn after 18 long years. He never won an Ashes series but his audacious batting made him an English folk hero, a veritable legend from the dark ages of English cricket. However, his greatest performances came in the winter of 2001 when he led the batting in an underdog side in back to back series wins in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It was his annus mirabilis. These two low profile series, away from the limelight, saw Graham Thorpe at his best. RIP, champion. Your legion of English fans will never forget your heroics.

@LeeAndersonMP_ You have the capacity for thought?

Food for thought 👇👇

@_Bish___ Ok. Don’t bother turning up.

If we’re starting Championship football matches with the likes of Vickers, Elder, Jackson and Barkhuizen even near this squad we are well and truly down already. Not to mention the likes of Washington and Collins to fall back on if needed. Very worrying if we can’t recruit. #dcfc

@talkSPORT Forest are only a big club in their own minds and in a clown mirror

"Simple as that." 😬

@ComeOnDerby_ Use moisturiser

If you had to give this man one piece of advice, what would it be? #DCFC

@petemorristwit Yes. It’s the Martians from the Smash advert, been making it rain on us

I'm bloody tired of this shit weather. It's obviously being engineered. Anyone else agree (UK)?

@leegooner123 @ExtremeFootbal4 Derby!!!

'No one has yet been able to explain to me why being older makes you better at the job' 22-year-old Sam Carling has been elected as a Labour MP for North West Cambridgeshire and spoke to #BBCBreakfast about being the youngest politician in the House of Commons bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@huwzat He doesn’t use umbrellas, I’m told

When John Major lost in 1997 he headed straight to The Oval for Surrey v British Universities in the B&H Cup. If Rishi Sunak wants to do the same, Surrey are playing Middlesex in the Blast, but a) he'll have to wait till tonight, and b) he'll have to hope the rain stops

@Lu_lockyer I liked Grandstand

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

@SeanMJarvis Grace Road and LCCC ❤️

Emails you like to get 👍🦊- and come back soon 👍🦊

@darrengrimes If he does, it’s actually people like you that would have caused him to want it

@leeharris Nuremberg 1936

Utterly staggering! FIVE THOUSAND people have turned up at NEC in Birmingham at the Reform event. This is absolutely huge! Something is happening... 👀

@henrywinter Yeah fine, the team can only evolve if the manager makes changes to improve and recognises that those players have made an impact.

Gareth Southgate showed players a presentation about 66 and how Sir Geoff Hurst didn’t start the tournament but finished it in style. Made the point of team evolving, value of squad etc: Toney, Palmer, Eze, Gallagher, Konsa came on, ready to have an impact. #ENGSVK #EURo2024

@FBAwayDays NEVER leave early

These England fans left early… 😭😭
