It's a bit pedantic but all county professionals play for a club - like Sussex County Cricket Club
Cricket is recognised as either recreational or first class, yes there are grey bits in between, League clubs have first class players assigned at "club cricket".
Maybe what Warnie was trying to explain was Adams' lack of International cricket?

This is exactly right. Through previous nasty comments Lyon made himself a target. I have to say I loved the fact he dropped the ball for that run out purely because of those comments. Just another example of Australian players, old and new, who dish it out but can't take it. And they have the cheek to call us "whinging" poms.

My mate's cousin tells a story about going to an Ian Chappell cricket school in the school holidays when he was growing up in Australia. He said that at the end of the day him and some of the other kids tried to get an autograph off Chappell who promptly told them to f*ck off. What a lovely guy.

This: but with the added caveats that Grizzly never looked like a Test batsman and that Warne was an unbelievably good bowler.

Its the old adage of 'one man's meat etc', I'd heard Botham could be difficult but I've since met him at two charity functions and he was a really top bloke, Phil Taylor also has a terrible reputation, but again when I've met him he's been really down to earth.

Is that picture of Beefy still up in the Wilmington? Haven't been in years.

Yes he did, but it didn’t stop him coming out with “do you know who I am?” on several occasions.
