Aside from the irish lads and the english lads youād see on tv Flintoff etc Iād say i would struggle to name a cricket player from the rest of the World, bar Warne and Brian Lara.
Most irish lads who spent time in Australia in the late 90s early noughties would know all the Aussie cricketers of that era. massive stars out there. Cricket is the game that unites the country with no AFL in Sydney no rugby league in Melbourne. Glenn McGrath, Steve Waugh, Adam Gilchrist, Brett lee and warnie the most famous of them. A fierce larrikin.

You read comics in the 80s
Youāll remember Viv Richards, Imran Khan, Ian Botham, etc
I have heard of Imran Kahn although more for his career as a politician
Yeah read comics. Iirc but I think rotr used to divert to the cricket duri g the summer. Ive nothing against cricket. I just dont like it and have absolutely zero interest in it.
Wasnt there an Irish lad who actually captained England for one or two games in the cricket?
