    Cool story.

    I was going to ask the same thing. Always good when someone else makes a dick of themselves before you do 😉

    RIP to a very good batsman.

    Graham Thorpe: Former England and Surrey batter dies aged 55

    Graham Thorpe: Former England and Surrey batter dies aged 55

    Former Surrey left-hander Graham Thorpe was renowned as one of the finest English players of his generation, playing exactly 100 Tests and scoring 16 centuries before retiring in 2005.

    Seemed to be a genuine class player during a period when England didn’t have many.

    Got a great double hundred in the same test that Astle got 222 in.

    Sad news for England Cricket & Surrey. Geez 55 is way to young but I understand he had been quite ill for a period of time.

    the guy responsible for the greatest arrest video of all time

    it's quotable from start to finish.

    Turns out it was case of mistaken identity! unfortunate for the police that the guy was quite the showman.
