Wow, I genuinely thought he stopped playing for England earlier than that.
He was a quality player wasn’t he?! I love the story that he was right handed but learnt to bat left handed to make it harder for his brother to bowl at him. I remember trying to do the same when I heard about that...
Yes I’m the same! Can’t stand that bloke and just couldn’t enjoy him batting.
See some mentions for Thorpe, I loved him as a player but would struggle to put him in an England team of the last 20 years! He didn’t play in the 2005 Ashes did he?
By the way, does anyone know what has happened to...
