Brilliant news, what more can I say really?

He did yes. He also did say that talking to said friends around match times was slightly unrespectful if I remember rightly? Apologies if wrong, it has been a while.

Not only that, even Strauss said it was a lie in his book. Complete fabrication he said, and that KP was well within his rights to have friends he spoke too in opposition teams.

I also recall that during the so called 'rebel tours' many England cricketers at the time refused to go due to having friends they felt would be insulted by them supporting apartheid? Botham even went as far to once tell my mother when he still lived in Epworth (we live in Scunthorpe and she was...

Can I also just say Graham Taylor came out very quickly and said this was never the case, and in fact if anything, multicultural diversity was actually encouraged in his selections where possible by the FA?

Idk about that. Then again. I am half Scottish myself so?

Actually tbh though it is not to bad, Man Botham has a house nearby from his Scunthorpe united days, and as mum used to babysit his kids while he was here, he stops to speak to her when he's up here. A genuine bloke he seems, had some demons though I think.

What matters is who we replace him with. I think we all preferred the Duncan days though surely?

No... Mums Italian dad a Scot, visited Italy a lot but never lived there... Scunthorpe, Australia, Scunthorpe. We only moved back as my grandparents on both sides fell ill and live here. Pity, it was funny watching my ginger sister keep burning in a weird brother/sister way Visited Scotland a...

I have a half Scottish and Half Sicilian heritage and upbringing so besides my homeland of England and since Sicily/Italy don't have a team as far as I am aware (correct me if I am wrong) my second team is Scotland. I didn't even gain an affection with Australia when my family lived in Sydney...

The funny thing is I am not sure if this is sarcastic or not.

And this here was my point about not wanting to play (though I always use the excuse of 'studies', so I always get a later chance), I just don't want to play for Lincolnshire under the ECB umbrella right now. Surely I can't be the only young English cricketer feeling that way?

Why do I have a feeling you're probably right?

I can certainly relate to the last line as a 19yo cricket fan. I have played cricket since I was 9, have been offered trials at county cricket clubs (Lincolnshire though, but hey) and turned them down on the pretense of the state of the ECB. Then there is the issue of my age group? I can't...

I was recommended this, I haven't seen it of yet but apparently it is an astonishing film.
