***Official*** England vs Sri Lanka 21st August-10th September 2024

King Kane

International Regular
He didn’t set the world alight in The Ashes but came out with a decent average and a couple of key innings. Not sure anyone in the England side is looking to play like Boycott or Tavare.
Boycott and Tavare wouldn't have fitted in with the new Bazball age but they were old fashioned openers like I was as a young batsmen.

I wanted to be an exciting batsmen like Botham, Gower or Brook but I was a stodgy opener that could stick around and wear down the bowlers

I could block and leave with the best of them.
 

King Kane

International Regular
This was the first test I went to as a youngster, Tavare put on a slow scoring opener clinic with an 89 off 337 balls in the first innings.


That was the infamous test where Terry Alderman busted his shoulder trying to tackle some English yobs that ran on to the field.
