New Zealand’s Matthew Hart and Australia’s Martin Love ❤️

Move over as Australia have given us both Joe and Rick Darling (no relation)

Another commercial festival to rip you off..

Geoff Boycott

Not a Valentine's Day themed name per se, but Jilly Cooper once saucily suggested she "wouldn't mind making (Frank) Hayes while the sun shines."

I'm going to be even more tragic and point out Benson and Hedges Cup matches were 55 overs per side - it was the Gillette Cup that was 60 overs. Had some great days out watching Lancs back then.

Now just have to find a Rose between two thorns 😂

I am so tragic I had to look and Cricinfo suggests Graham and Brian only played one game together for Somerset - a Benson and Hedges Cup quarter-final against Northants in 1987. 60 overs a side, those were the days!
