So sad, an iconic England player gone too soon. The square cut to end square cuts.😔

Apologies, but no quiz this week (life, etc)

If you’d like to help our little independent podcast, please leave us a rating or a review. Perhaps you could leave the review in the style of your favourite commentator (doesn’t have to be Richie)?

Thanks all!

About 89/90 I 'captained' him in a six a side tournament on the Oval.
I took one wicket.
Alec Stewart. c. Thorpe, b. Spencer.
Though I had used four different balls in one 8 ball over as 3 went down the Harleyford Road. Must have been carnage for drivers out there!

The answer was…

Graham Thorpe

The ‘93 series is primarily (and quite rightly) remembered for the explosive arrival of Shane Warne & the revival of wrist spin in Ashes history. But this was also the year one Graham Thorpe arrived in the international scene.

Graham was a truly great player in a relatively poorly performing team for the most part. He starred in a day night match without a pink ball or floodlights in Pakistan.
