@JamieMagill5 Maybe draft Murali in as spinner: Fowler Atherton Crawley Fairbrother Livingstone Flintoff Watkinson Hegg Chapple Anderson Murali Not counting Stuart Law, too Aussie!😉 10 genuine Lancastrians, 1 overseas.

Lancashire is my home county; and here is my favourite XI since I started watching in the late 80s ❤️ 🌹 🏏 Only one overseas player allowed 👍 Atherton, Fowler, Crawley, Fairbrother, Law, Flintoff, Wasim, Watkinson, Hegg, Chapple, Anderson

@Steve_Laws_ Who would you replace England Test Cricket Captain Ben Stokes with?

I would rather lose every game with an English team then win with a foreign one. You people don't get it. International football is not club football. It's about giving the best English talent a shot at the cup. Not rounding up people from all over the world and pretending they're English because they were given citizenship. It makes a mockery of the whole thing.

@calvinrobinson Who would you replace England Test Cricket Captain Ben Stokes with?

The England team should be English. This is not racism, this is common sense. We have lost our minds in the name of diversity, equity and inclusion. It is not “inclusion” when you exclude your own. It is replacement.

@LibertyLydia @lucyjaynewhite1 Wait until you see the Australian cricket team. Or the US Basketball team. Or the Canadian Ice Hockey team.

Look at these teams: Ivory Coast, China, and India. All of them are 100% native to the country they represent. Africans play for African nations. Chinese for China. Indians for India. They deliberately choose players who belong to their people. That is normal. That’s what a national team is supposed to be. It’s time for England to stop being weak. An English team should consist of English people — full stop.

Harry Maguire, who is English and Northern Irish… … has been demographically replaced in the England World Cup team by an African named ‘Addji Keaninkin Marc-Israel Guéh’ born in Ivory Coast. What’s the point in a ‘national’ football team if someone who is NOT from that nation can join? Maguire should play for England. Guéh should play for Ivory Coast. Common sense. I’m sure Maguire isn’t even allowed to contest this decision because, as his shirt says in the photo below, ‘no room for racism’.

@lucyjaynewhite1 Possibly ask England Test Cricket Captain Ben Stokes or former England Captains Eoin Morgan, Allan Lamb or Andrew Strauss.

@SirJBritain @lucyjaynewhite1 @orm0nde Possibly ask current England Test Captain Ben Stokes?

@lucyjaynewhite1 @orm0nde I don’t understand how you can be born in Africa and still get a place in the England team? How does that work?

@Britpopmemories You learn something every day. My little town team won the Premier League title on the Sunday, Weller released my all time favourite album on the Monday, what a time to be alive.

May 15th 1995 That was quite a day for Britpop! But which of these is your favourite?

@BumbleCricket Fred Titmus didn’t drop in did he?

In lovely pub in the Dales .. background music is Kim Carnes , Bette Davies Eyes … not just the same as She’s got Dickie Davies Eyes by HMHB

@SagarH62 The wonderful Neil Harvey Fairbrother, possibly the finest middle order one day batsman in England in his time, would be a T20 multi-millionaire today.🏏🌹🌹🌹

Cricket fans, this one’s for the OGs 👀 No Google. No hints. Just cricket knowledge 🧠 Who is he?

@RobertJenrick Staggering coincidence, there was chap with exactly the same name as you in the last Conservative government, in that time the National Debt doubled during a period of self imposed austerity.

We are forecast to spend £110 BILLION on debt interest alone this year. And the constant chaos in the Labour Party is causing costs to rise even higher. That’s money that could be spent on new hospitals, ships or prisons. But that won’t be because of Labour’s recklessness.

@CricketopiaCom 1990 B&H Cup Final. Hick was the big thing in batting. Wasim had him terrified, like a rabbit in the headlights, nicked off for 1. Masterclass in left arm fast. I was there.

Is Wasim Akram the greatest left-handed fast bowler ever?

@LeadingEdgePod Gehan Mendis was, I believe, exceptionally close to becoming one of very few players to score 10,000 FC runs for 2 counties, Sussex and Lancs. I think Graveney and Ramprakash are the only 2.

Most County Championship runs, 1980–1989 🏏 Wayne “Ned” Larkins leads the decade with 13,622 runs - a brilliant, attacking Northamptonshire opener and one of county cricket’s great entertainers. Behind him, Graeme Gooch was operating at a different level: 12,833 runs at 53.03, with 39 hundreds. An Essex giant and one of England’s defining batters of the era. And Dennis Amiss was still piling them up deep into a legendary Warwickshire career: 12,480 runs, 67 fifties and 27 hundreds in the decade. Three very different batting stories - all massive county careers. #CountyCricket #Cricket #CountyChampionship Stats by redballcricketstats.com

@Harv366 @wasimakramlive @lancscricket @taimoor_ze Those were the days, I did the 1/4 and semi that year too, MoM in both! @Harv366. Wasn’t that the famous cancelled Hampshire year, 200+ with Athers?🌹🌹

@craighindle @wasimakramlive @lancscricket @taimoor_ze No, Waz hit Radford into the top tier of the pavilion, a mighty blow!!!🌹🌹

- Feels like yesterday, this was my first time at Lords with @lancscricket, what a day it was in the finals... #GreatMemories #RedRose Video via @taimoor_ze

@fredfertang @lancscricket @jimmy9 Both from totally different eras, both Lancashire (and England) legends. I love Jimmy but Statham took over 2000 wickets at less than 17. He also bowled over 100,000 first class deliveries, true workhorse.

I should have been working but instead spent a large part of my afternoon discussing with three other @lancscricket supporters who our atg fast bowler is so @jimmy9 or Brian Statham? Opinion was divided down the middle, so I put the question out there .....

@LaureusSport @atptour @RFETenis @carlosalcaraz Magnificent athlete, but no Tadej Pogacar who produced possibly the finest cycling season of all time.

Carlos Alcaraz is the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year 🏆 #Laureus26

@thecricketdraft Just outside the top 10 last week, flirted with 1st yesterday. Harris -ve was a disappointment. Made a couple of frantic transfers, will need to burn some penalties this week.

After GW 3 are you seeing lots of 🟢⬆️ or too much 🔴⬇️…. #cricket #fantasycricket #countychamp

@Britpopmemories Some belters on there, what about Disc 1, Track 10? “Stop the world, I’m getting off”.

30 years ago today, the latest edition of the “Best…In The World…Ever” was released. What’s the best track on it? I might go with “Stutter” by Elastica.

@willis_macp I’m a Lancashire member and avid watcher of their YouTube content. The irony that the article reporting the decision to put coverage behind a paywall is in fact behind a paywall itself isn’t lost on me.

The start of a big change to county live streaming? Lancashire have put introduced a paywall for all men’s county matches telegraph.co.uk/gift/3be120e67…
