Richard Holdridge

I try to stick to cricket and history. The fact I am a District Councillor and a Treasurer of two churches means life is pretty full!

@bagga_buntyy1 I think you have the wrong Ian Smith pictured.....I don't think the former Prime Minister of Rhodesia did much cricket commentary. (And John Arlott or Alan Gibson for me were the greatest)

@3LionsPodcast 16 Teams, over in three weeks. Perfect!

@beauti_animals The County Palatine, ruled by Prince Bishops, so practically independent. Durham.

@mpgf1973 @bbctms Didn't captain in a Lord's test? He was (as I remember) meant to be following Illy as England captain in '73 but failed twice (and became injured) in the 1st Test at Trent Bridge and that was that.

@GillsonAndrew @bbctms The picture apparently showed those who had captained England in a Test at Lord's. Something Geoffrey never did.

@lady_valor_07 It has to be John Candy....

@BhattiLaib9960 Two? His own.

[Richard Holdridge @Rick3816]

@WG_RumblePants They have now. Phew. Saturday still looks a bit dodgy though!

[Richard Holdridge @Rick3816]

@WG_RumblePants I hesitate to point this out, but they still have not past 26.
Also, what price a ticket for the third day?

[Richard Holdridge @Rick3816]

@theamelia___ Yes. One person who didn't acknowledge the polite gesture was the current elected Mayor of the neighbouring city (which is perhaps going to absorb us very soon). It's funny what little things make you go off people!

@Footballtweet I have no idea but how about 'Craven Cottage' which is a lovely name.

[Richard Holdridge @Rick3816]

@bushontheradio The staple of many a summer vicarage tea party!

@Murk441 It's an age dependent problem I guess; if he's 21 years he buys you a new couch, 21 months ensure he is issued with non permanent markers (and a few firm words)

[Richard Holdridge @Rick3816]

@HRHCatherine She should consider wearing a biretta rather than go though the rigmarole of relying on the (thoughtful) Princess Royal perhaps?

[Richard Holdridge @Rick3816]

@HonestFrank £7.50?

@BillyBowden07 no helmet (only for cissies). It's the old bald b****** himself from Rawdon.

@SagarH62 It's Peter Willey
His Aunty used to sort out the finances at my college in Durham. I think he started his cricketing journey by helping update the scoreboard at Durham City CC.

@Kristinartz Blaze? And though a more usual boy's name, it's not unknown for a girl!
