I never had the chance to watch him play, but I found his commentary quite funny, and nowadays he's into things not remotely related to Cricket.

Politician these days is he not? I wish more players wore turbans while playing, it makes making the hair soo much easier haha

Politician, yes and also one that grabs a lot of media attention. Though post his cricket (and commentary) career, he's mostly famous for being a judge of comedy shows, or being part of them in some manner.

Yep, Turbans have dissappeared nowadays in cricket. I have seen some wearing it in the IPL, and one player in County Cricket. Otherwise, not many continue to wear it once they go into cricket.

Here @blockerdave why did we give so many dogshit bowlers like 2 or 3 caps during the 90s?

I think The selection policy was to stick a picture of each bowler on a knife-throwers wheel, spin it round and whoever’s pic the knife thrower impaled got a cap

Just busy boarding up some stadiums so I can share it. Borrowed a few players from @Spoobir and @Mouseydread to finish them off

 

[Ed Smith]

India 1990 shared. Stadiums by @wasteyouryouth ad boards by @blockerdave

Had a bit dick about with Chris Lewis and Atherton as well, happier with them now. Reshared bot .

A bit off-topic, but India never found anyone close to this legend's class. I never knew a lot about him, then my mother told me a lot about him, be it 1983 WC or otherwise. Even Pakistan, never got another Imran again. England in some way have been lucky that they got Flintoff and Stokes, after Botham. NZ, also has been a place that's produced good bowling all rounders even till date.

I think New Zealand has produced loads of allrounders John Reid from the 50s and 60s sometimes goes uunnoticedaling with Hadlee and a host of very good allrounders, it must be something I the waters...Barry Knight was a very good English allrounder from the 60s, two best ever must be Sobers and Kallis..then Imran, Botham, Hadlee and Kapil. Franklyn Stephenson and Collis King would have got greater recognition but for being rebels.[DOUBLEPOST=1583510967][/DOUBLEPOST]

I think Lewis is excellent just a bit darker shade and you have him stone cold! Good work!

It's hard to tell really. I felt like the next one along was too dark, but that one is probably a touch too light

Speaking of Mr Lewis...
