I once bought a beer from him at a house party at uni, and I met his girlfriend who was friends with my neighbour but that’s as close as it got. He did indeed get national colours for hockey as well as cricket.

Wriggling Snake Aug 2020 10:51am, 5 Aug 2020 27,946 posts	0 Wriggling Snake Indeed, but it is very muggy today here in Machester, I see a few wickets, could be good....clears up then rains, so perhaps they'll be 5 down before play is called off...weather improves tomorrow, then really warms up Friday/Saturday, so I think the result may depend on how the game pans out tomorrow, and who gets to bat most in the best conditions, which will be late Thursday/Friday

Wriggling Snake Aug 2020 11:06am, 5 Aug 2020 27,947 posts	0 Wriggling Snake I wasn't having a go at Ireland, that's a country. I was having a go at players who seem to think swearing at, and calling fellow professionals (who had just soundly beaten you) is a really clever thing to do. As it turns out, it might have been.
