Quickfire show of sibling rivalry

days in the back yard and Graham used to come in and get out first or second ball.

“We always look back and reminisce about those times because that’s all we used to do for hours and days. It’s funny how it turns around. Now he’s the one batting for days. Mind you, it would be quite funny if I got him out early on Friday.”

Graham, 24, and Jordan are part of a strong cricket family.

Their older brother Darren played Minor Counties cricket for Cumberland as well as on the winning side at Lord’s for Cleator in the final of the National Village Knockout in 2013 alongside father Ian.

Ian and his wife are regulars at Lancashire and Durham games.

“My dad always says he’s a Durham fan,” said Jordan.

“Last time he was at Old Trafford when we played Durham, he had a Durham top on and a Lancashire furry hat.

“My mum and dad always watch together. If dad has a Durham top on, mum will keep the peace and wear a Lancashire top.

“When they come to watch here, they sit with Al Davies’s parents and Steve Livingstone (Liam’s dad). They’re all Lancs fans, so dad just likes to stir the pot a bit.”

Like Graham, Jordan is enjoying an impressive year. He scored his maiden Championship century in at Surrey and has taken 16 wickets. In the RL50, he was Lancs’ leading wicket-taker with 10 and added two fifties in a haul of 270 runs.
