Saddened and at a loss for words at the tragic passing of one of England’s finest. My thoughts are with his family at this time. RIP Thorpey, you absolute legend of a man.

[Mark Ilott @MarkIlott]

How good are @MarkFosterSwim and @BeckAdlington on the #OlympicGamesParis2024 @BBCSport coverage. So refreshing to see such passion and knowledge. Obviously @clarebalding continues to excel.

[Mark Ilott @MarkIlott]

Congratulations on the most amazing career @jimmy9. Staggering, simply staggering. Irreplaceable and a role model to a generation of people, let alone cricketers.

Many thanks to Mark Ilott (ex England & Essex) for spending the afternoon at Beechwood Park and inspiring our senior cricketers @SASHertsSport

The weather may have put preparations back by a week or so, but the 1st XI cricket square is looking stunning now the sun is shining. Great effort by the ground staff at Woollams. The first match, against Watford GS, is just over a week away.

At the squash - you bump into the strangest people @montypanesar

[Mark Ilott @MarkIlott]

Always a great day out. Makes a change from the Canary Wharf Classic - now at Ally Pally but should be a great day @LondonSqClassic

[Mark Ilott @MarkIlott]

@Cricketnut4 I think the rough was more useful to Tim May than Warnie. He was a helluva bowler too by the way.

[Mark Ilott @MarkIlott]

Back in the day, this is how you found out you were picked for England. Stayed at my parents last night and mum dug out the ‘scrapbook’. I never actually played in this game (had to give the jumpers back) but a certain Mr Warne did who bowled ‘that ball’.

[Mark Ilott @MarkIlott]

@edwardjg68 Yeah, I’ve been at St Albans School for about 11 years full time and then a few years prior to that as a part-time cricket pro in the summer. Absolutely love it. Great staff, great pupils and awesome facilities.

[Mark Ilott @MarkIlott]

@edwardjg68 Yeah, always been good mates. We never weren’t, it just got a bit heated on that day. @RDBCroft10

[Mark Ilott @MarkIlott]

@EdatEddie I don’t do it at PBCC which is 100yds away!!!

@IntercityFC @RAMACH280463 Ian Healey, Brendan Julian and Big Merv.

[Mark Ilott @MarkIlott]

@IntercityFC @RAMACH280463 Great memory. It was second day. We batted first at Trent Bridge. The truth be known, I was nervous as hell and I thought it’d be easier to control a bumper!!!
