David Lloyd Career

Playing career

Lloyd had a lengthy playing career, winning 407 first-class matches and 288 one-day games. In his Lancashire and England career, he scored nearly 27,000 runs and took 276 wickets, taking 423 wickets. His batting average of 33.33 in all first-class cricket and his bowling average of 30.26 indicate his ability as a good all-rounder. On ten occasions, he had scored over 1,000 runs in a season, and hundreds in all three major domestic leagues. His total career spanned twenty years from 1965 to 1985, and he played lower level cricket for Cumberland, as well as league and club cricket in Accrington, for whom he continued to play for until 2009. In the final game of the 2009 season, Accrington won their seventh Lancashire League title. Lloyd found enough success early on to pique the attention of the county selectors, who were playing 33 games for Accrington between 28 July 1962 and his first-class debut.

In a County Championship match against Middlesex at Old Trafford cricket ground in Manchester, Lloyd played his first first-class match for Lancashire on June 12, 1965. As Middlesex defeated Middlesex by nine wickets, Lloyd batted at number seven and made a pair. He did, however, take two wickets. He continued to fail in his first season with the bat, playing 13 games and scoring only 262 runs at 14.55, with a high score of 44. He did have success with the ball, but he lost 21 wickets at 31.33.

Lloyd made his debut in one-day matches on June 22, 1966, the only one-day match he would play during that season. At Taunton cricket ground, it was a Gillette cup quarter-final against Somerset. He failed to make a good impression: batting at six runs Lloyd was suspended without scoring and was not allowed to bowl. He did, however, have more success with the bat in first-class cricket, scoring 588 runs from 25 games at 21.77, including two half-centuries and a personal record of 77. He took 32 wickets at 24.87, the highest wicket count of his career. In 1967, there were similar results: 14 matches yielding 316 runs at 21.06, with one half-century at 52*, as well as a good bowling season with 21 wickets at 21.14 and his second five-wicket haul.

On June 8, 1968, Lloyd scored his first century for Lancashire against Cambridge University. In a rain-affected draw, he scored 148 not out. Lloyd will later confess that this was the time when he decided he wanted to be a cricketer, according to The Sunday Times. He went on to score 935 runs in 23 games this season, largely due to the order. His bowling suffered, but he only lost one wicket at 93.00.

Lloyd played 16 games for Lancashire in 1969, winning 342 runs at 22.80. Lancashire did not use Lloyd's bowling in the one-day games that year, but the batsman did take four first-class wickets at 17.50, and he continued to develop with the bat, scoring his second century, 102*, and reaching 1,238 runs from 27 matches at 31.74, the first time he had surpassed 1,000 runs in a season.

Following finals victories over Sussex, Kent, and Warwickshire, Lloyd earned three consecutive winners' medals for the Gillette Cup in 1970, 1971, and 1972. In each of these seasons, he scored over 1,000 runs and took 33 wickets throughout. 12 of these wickets were taken at 28.25, 1,510 runs at 47.18, including six centuries, in 1972, making Lloyd's most lucrative season since 1972. He failed in the one-day games but at 16,11, he was voted captaincy for 1973. The captaincy did nothing to influence his form this season, scoring 1,405 first-class runs, one of which was a career best 195. At 28.28, he took 31 wickets at 28.28. He appeared in 24 one-day games, scoring 538 runs at 33.63, including a career high of 113 runs.

Following injury, Lloyd returned from Australia in 1975 and led Lancashire to their fourth Gillette title of the 1970s.

Lloyd resigned as Lancashire's captaincy in 1977 and was given a pension year in 1978, which culminated in a record £40,171 raise.

Under the captaincy of Mike Denness, Lloyd made his England ODI debut against the West Indies on September 7, 1973. England was limited to 189/9 in this 55-over-over-match, with Lloyd making only eight out of the match before being dismissed. For the loss of just two wickets, the West Indies made the target from 42.2 overs. He was nonetheless called into the Test squad for the second Test against India on June 20th, 1974 at Lord's. As England defeated 629 all out, with 188 from Dennis Amiss, 118 from Denness, and 106 from Tony Greig, the opening was batting in place of Geoffrey Boycott. In their first innings reply, India made 302 runs, with Lloyd bowling only two overs for four runs. India was decimated by Geoff Arnold (four wickets) and Chris Old (five wickets), falling to 42 wickets and giving England the victory by an innings and 285 runs.

Lloyd played for his third Test against India at Edgbaston on July 4th. Batting first, and India were rained on the first day for 165, and by the end of day two, England was 117/0, with Amiss and Lloyd not out with half-centuries. Amiss was suspended for 79 on the next day. Lloyd continued to score 214* from 396 balls in his 448-minute innings, aiding England in 459/2 triumphs. India was dismissed for 216, giving England another wicket victory and a series 3–0. Lloyd's first Test series came with a 260.00 Test batting average. He then went on to face India in two ODI matches at Headingley and The Oval on July 13 and 15. As England won by four wickets, he made 34 from 63 runs in the first round, and in the second he scored 39 from 81 as England defeated by six wickets.

Lloyd then met Pakistan at Headingley on July 25th and Lord's on August 8th, earning 48, nine, 23 and 12* as both matches ended in draws. On the 22nd Test of the Kennington Oval, England then met Pakistan for the third Test, where Pakistan reached 600/7 declared in the first innings thanks to a knockout of 240 from Zaheer Abbas. In response, Amiss hit 183 and Fletcher scored 122, but Lloyd only got four runs in the first innings, and Pakistan could only make 94/4 before the match ended in a draw. Lloyd continued to play both ODI matches, scoring 116* in the first match from 159 balls, but with a losing cause and four in the second match.

Lloyd returned to Australia to face the home team for the 1974–75 Ashes series. In December, the first three Test matches took place. Lloyd was unable to attend the First Test in Brisbane. During the second series, Tom Carter scored 49 and 35 as Australia won by nine wickets on December 13th. Lloyd scored 14 and 44 on December 26th at Melbourne cricket ground for a drawn match. England and Australia played an ODI match in Melbourne the following day. England won by three wickets from 49 from 95 balls, with Lloyd making 49 from 95 wickets. Lloyd scored 19 and 26 against the home team at the SCG on January 4, 1975, followed by four and five at Adelaide on January 25. Both England and Wales lost heavily. Lloyd's Test average had fallen to the 40s earlier this year, and after an injury that forced him to return home, he did not play Test cricket again. He had averaged 24.50 from the four Test matches, scoring only 196 runs out of eight innings, and John Arlott wrote in 1984 that "in a team defeated by Lillee and Thomson's 'heart-line' attack [Lloyd] was effectively bowled out of Test cricket."

He was, however, recalled for two ODI matches in 1978 and 1980. The first match, against Pakistan at The Oval, where he scored 34 from 61 balls, was the first, and the second and final match was against the West Indies at Headingley on May 28. He faced only eight balls in the order, scoring one run before breaking his arm, leading to the tourists' victory by 24 runs.

Later career

Lloyd umpired first-class and List-A matches from 1985 to 1987 following his retirement in 1983. His first match was played between Cambridge University and Essex in 1985, and his last match was between Nottinghamshire and Glamorgan at Trent Bridge on September 9th. He ruled 35 first-class matches and 27 List-A games, as well as tour matches for India and New Zealand.

Lloyd joined Lancashire as the head coach in 1993 and went on to guide Lancashire to their third Benson and Hedges Cup title.

Lloyd was in conflict with Dermot Reeve, then coach of Somerset, while in the Old Trafford committee room in 1995. According to Reeve's book Winning Ways, he said, "I don't like you Reeve." I never knew you. You get right up my nose and, if you come near me, I'll rearrange yours."

Lloyd was England's coach in 1996 and England saw England triumphs against India, New Zealand, and South Africa, as well as ODI victories against India, Pakistan, and the West Indies. He helped expand England's support staff, which included "a fitness consultant and a media relations officer as well as a few specialist coaches."

Lloyd caused controversies in Zimbabwe's winter tour, following two close draws. "We murdered them" after the first Test in Bulawayo, which resulted in a draw with the scores level. We were on the top of the charts and steamrolled them. We have flipping hammered them. We'd have walked it if we had one more ball. We murdered them and they know it. There is no praise for those who work so hard and get so close. We've had some sticks stuck off your lads. "They were hammered." Zimbabweans were not keen on the remarks, with one banner in the crowd proclaiming "Wanted." David Lloyd. The Zim Cricket Team's Murder has been given a name. The last time we saw him with his finger up his nose, we were talking utter bollocks. He knows it and we know it.

With his tenure as long as he was around, he oversaw a 3–0 victory over Australia in the first Test of the 1997 Ashes series at Edgbaston, but Australia won three of the next four Tests, allowing them to keep the Ashes despite England's victory in the sixth and final match. Lloyd played a "leading part" in persuading Mike Atherton to rename him captain before his West Indies winter tour. Lloyd's deal was renewed for 1998, despite the defeat in the Caribbean and Atherton's eventual retirement.

England defeated South Africa 2-1 in 1998, their first victory in a five-match Test series since 1986/87, with Lloyd as coach. However, following England's tour of England, Lloyd's Muttiah Murahan a "chucker," both the England Cricket Board and the Sri Lanka Cricket Board chastised him for calling Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muratraran a "chucker," as well as numerous outbursts following poor England results. He first announced that he was stepping down from his coaching position in Australia's 1998-99 Ashes series, but that the tournament would not be renewed after discussions with the ECB revealed that his deal was not to be renewed in March 1999. England did not do well at the tournament, losing to advance from the group stages, making them the only one-time hosts of a Cricket World Cup. Lloyd joined Sky Sports as a commentator right away.

Lord MacLaurin, the European Central Bank, owes a significant debt for the job he has done as England coach since taking over the role in 1996. During his time in academia, David has introduced several innovations that have made us world leaders in several aspects of our sport's international role. If we could lift the World Cup for the first time this summer, it would be a fitting send-off for him." "David has done a marvel job for England," ECB Chief Executive Tim Lamb said, "including winning our first five Test series victory for 12 years." Nothing is more important than a fruitful World Cup campaign, and I know David will play his part in achieving this." Lloyd has also stated that "I've had a great time on the England team, and I'm looking forward to concluding my tenure with a fruitful and enjoyable World Cup campaign." It was important for me to have a clear picture of what my future holds. Now that the case is settled, the team will no longer be concerned with the World Cup. Alec Stewart weighed in on the team, saying, "It's sad news, but it's been a real pleasure to work with 'Bumble,' a coach who is patient, loyal to his players, and utterly professional." He has brought a real sense of passion to his work as England coach, and it would be wonderful to award him with the World Cup as a final vote of thanks from the players for all he has done for us."

Changing face of UK's high streets: How nearly 5,000 stores have shut in past year after retailers including Wilko, Paperchase and M&Co shut their doors - while Greggs, Domino's and Costa thrive

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 14, 2024
Last year, nearly 5,000 stores closed across the United Kingdom after Wilko, Paperchase, and Lloyds pharmacy closed. However, a surge in new stores opened by thriving UK retailers, including Greggs, Domino's, and Costa last year, even if this hasn't been weighed by the number of closures. According to new reports from accounts PwC, the new stores were mainly coffee drive-through franchises, bubble tea shops, fast food franchises, and discount stores located outside of city centres. Last year, more than 14,000 stores closed across the United Kingdom, an average of 39 per day, with a net decrease of nearly 5,000 shops, or 14 per day. Fashion chains M&Co and Joules, stationers Paperchase, general store Wilko, and pub group Stonegate, which sells Slug & lettuce, saw the largest decrease in the number of outlets due to financial challenges or restructures. Discount store Aldi, Costa Rica, and Starbucks were among the new stores that were seen, as well as fast food franchises Greggs and Domino's.

Why can't there be gyms just for overweight women like me! I'm 18 years old, and this is what happened when I first tried to work out with the delectable mummies

In a tumultuous hotel, a Latvian gunman carrying a Vendetta mask terrifies visitors by brandishing a rifle

www.dailymail.co.uk, March 13, 2024
Romans Vodcics (right), 31, had been staying at The Raven guest house in Corby (inset) on September 17 last year when he was asked to leave for being rude to employees. But rather than doing as he was ordered, the Latvian national returned to his room and purchased the realistic-looking Glock rifle, as well as the mask, which was also adopted by the worldwide 'Anonymous' internet hacker movement. He exploded into the bar and walked through while clutching the rifle and wearing the mask (left) before walking outside and pointing the dummy weapon at the hotel.
