- ❤️🏏 💙📚💡 A Lancashire legend, I am very grateful to David Lloyd for writing the foreword to my upcoming book Stars on Sunday, the history of the John Player League. He was the 1st Lancs player to pass 4,000 runs in the JPL (4,653@32.31) and no one skippered them more times. www.starsonsundaybook.com
- ❤️🏏 JPL TEAM OF THE YEAR: 1973 The John Player Yearbook selection panel remained unchanged from the previous season, as did the chosen openers, Richards and Turner.
- 🏏❤️ 📚💙💡 Rarely have 2 bowlers figures tracked so closely as John Lever and Derek Underwood through their John Player League careers. They were the key wicket-taking bowlers for Essex and Kent respectively through the 1970s, and finished the 1981 season locked together on 261 wickets each.
