Who’s your favourite English cricketer, Smalls? I’m going with Joe Root. A phenomenal batsman, a true gent, and there’s a vibe when the barmy army call out his name like a war cry when he hits a boundary. Jimmy a close second? Having said that, the extras from the Oliver Twist production (Burns, Crawley, Laurie and Sibley) are the absolute worst cricket has to offer.
Marnus my favourite Aussie. The story of him asking Langer if he can take a ham and cheese toastie in his pocket on field while India was beasting them at home is a favourite. Talking to himself like a mad bastard.
