I don't live by "the rules" you know. And if there's one other person who's influenced me in that way I think, someone who is a maverick, someone who does that to the system, then, it's Ian Botham. Because Beefy will happily say "that's what I think of your selection policy, yes I've hit the odd copper, yes I've enjoyed the old dooby, but will you piss off and leave me alone, I'm walking to John O'Groats for some spastics."

Thorpe. Englishman and a New South Welshman - great mix.

 

[Himannv]

Thorpe. Very underrated batsman. At one time he was the standout batsman for England by miles. Always felt he had exceptional technique, specially against spin.
