X put themselves at a disadvantage from 1968 until 1992 by insisting that
all its players must have been born within the historic county boundaries
of X while all the other county teams strengthened themselves by signing
overseas Test players. In 1992, the birth qualification rule was first
modified to include those educated within the county, a dispensation that
allowed Michael Vaughan to play; and was then abandoned altogether. X's
first overseas player that season was Y.
Give me both X & Y.

X wrote a series of blogs about the 2009 Ashes for Yahoo! sport, and
joined the ICL commentary team in 2007–08.
In July 2010, X was stripped of his 2007 Father of the Year title after
he admitted that he had a nine-year affair with a flight attendant,
and fathered a son whom he had never seen.
During 2011 Indian Premier League, X commented that "Rajasthan
Cricket Association should lick Warne's feet".
He has been bordering controversy for the last 6 years or so. Give
me X, a former international cricketer.

Dave X was kind enough to pass on some information about the cricket match
organized by A during filming in Malta. Dave and his sons B and C had to visit
Europe for media work at the World Cup in England, so the family decided to have
a mini-reunion. However, the two days of playing turned out to be a thrashing of
“X's Cricketing Cronies."
The event was instigated by A, who saw the opportunity for a cricket contest in the
best traditions of the Coliseum. A challenge was issued to pit the crew of the film
against the Maltese team from the Marsa Sports & Country Club. A assumed by
bringing in his cousins B and C as ringers it would be no contest. The rest of the Xs on
the team included A’s dad, Alex, his brother, Terry, and of course our dear friend
Dave .
Also recruited for the game were wicket-keeper Robin Demetriou, David Kent-
Watson and old family friend Steve Wilkins. Wally Glynn, the oldest active
international player in the world at 69, was retained as official umpire in the
deathless contest.

So far this delivery has been used for well over a hundred
years. But the delivery has recently been re-invented by
Saqlain Mushtaq and he occasionally used it. He has
stated that the X is still a work in progress and that he
wants to hone the delivery so that the batsman become
even more confused about where the ball is going to
spin and whether it will spin at all. Saeed Ajmal claimed
to have learned this art and has used it occasionally in
the 2011 World Cup and after that.
What is being reffered to?

The X ruling is a European Court of Justice ruling handed down on
May 8, 2003 in favour of Maroš X, a Slovak handball player. It
declared that citizens of certain countries which have signed
agreements with the European Union, have the same right to
freedom of work and movement within the EU as EU citizens. Thus
any restrictions placed on their right to work (such as quotas setting
maximum numbers of such foreign players in sports teams) are
deemed illegal under EU law. The legal actions in Germany set a
precedent for professional sports in Europe, which have had a wide-
ranging effect, especially in regard to English county cricket and
European professional rugby.
Since then, lots of cricketers have migrated to Europe and found
success there. Give me X.

He played county cricket for 13 years as an overseas player for
Gloucestershire and led them to great success. Fans even jokingly
renamed the team ____________. His whirlwind, chest-on pace bowling
lifted Gloucestershire from the unfashionable depths of the county
championship to second in 1969 as he blasted his way to over a
hundred wickets. He destroyed Worcestershire single handedly in 1977,
scoring a century before lunch and taking 13 wickets for just 73 runs.
"I never really bothered much about averages, I was more concerned
with how the team did, so to never lose a big game at Lord's was a
highlight, plus there was winning all the Super Tests in Australia during
World Series Cricket and all those Currie Cups with Natal," X told Cricinfo
"And, of course, winning all those Test matches in South Africa against
the Aussies.“-X

Founded in 1865, the club were founder members of the Football
Alliance in 1889 and joined the Football League in 1892.X won the FA
Cup in 1898 and 1959, but their most successful period came under
the management of Y, between 1975 and 1993, during which time
they won their only league title, two consecutive European Cups and
four League Cups. X are the only former European champion club not
to be currently playing in their top-tier domestic league or division.

X made their debut in 1904. Initially they played against various club
teams such as Club Espanyol, Madrid CF, FC Barcelona and Irún
Sporting Club. On February 2, 1912 they made their international
friendly debut against France, losing 7–0 in Paris.
X is not affiliated to either FIFA or UEFA and is therefore not allowed
to participate in either the FIFA World Cup or the European
Championship. However since 1904, the team has played nearly
200 games against various national, regional and club teams. Since
1997 they have played international friendly games more regularly.

The competition between the two clubs had roots in more than just
a simple sporting rivalry. It was infused with a series of complex
disputes, sometimes centred on religion (Catholic and Protestant),
politics (Loyalist and Republican), and social ideology
(Conservatism and Socialism).
The A rivalry fuelled many assaults on Derby days, and some deaths
in the past have been directly related to the aftermath of A
matches. An activist group that monitors sectarian activity in X has
reported that on A weekends, violent attacks increase ninefold
over normal levels. An increase in domestic abuse can also be
attributed to A fixtures.
Both the clubs or the name of the rivalry.

On October 26, 2012, X was sentenced to four years in prison by an
Italian court for tax evasion. Although the term was longer than the
three years and eight months the prosecutors had requested, it was
shortened to one year in accord with a 2006 amnesty law. The
charges were in relation to a scheme to purchase overseas film
rights at inflated prices through offshore companies. He and his co-
defendants have been ordered to pay 10 million Euros and have
been banned from holding public office for three years. He remains
free and is expected to appeal the decision.

Minister.

At the end of the 1996-97 season, Juventus' Alessandro Del Piero
told Italian media that X was one of his two favourite players, and
gave the following memorable quote: "This is embarrassing to say
but I have cried twice in my life watching a football player; the first
one was Roberto Baggio and the second was X.“
