Posted by Buy The Cricketer. We’ve a thing in it.
“Was Don Bradman really the greatest batsman? Is Test cricket the pinnacle? Was it definitely better in your day? It’s time to bust some myths, says Alex Bowden.”
Only we didn’t say that. That’s not the kind of thing we say. We just tried it out now and it sounded very odd – a bit confrontational almost.
What we actually said was something about maybe, possibly writing something about various bits of received wisdom and if it wouldn’t be too much trouble, would The Cricketer please take a quick look, but that it would be absolutely fine if they didn’t want to use it and we wouldn’t be at all offended.
Oddly, some of the comments on our recent Cricinfo piece appeared to quote our Cricketer piece. We can’t work out whether this is coincidence or whether we have CHANGED THE WAY PEOPLE THINK. It’s probably the former.
Your brain is now in the public domain, KC. Have you not been told?
No-one tells us anything. Actually, that’s not true. Sometimes people tell us we’re in the way.
Now that you have changed the way people think, the logical next step is to grow a mustache. And twirl it in a moody fashion while pondering inane questions.
“Sir, would you like your eggs scrambled or poached?” “hmmm…”
“Sir..?”
“hmmmm”
“Please Sir, can I have an answer?”
“hmmmm, How about……both? Yes, lad, I’d like my eggs………..scratched”.
the best is dippy egg 🙂
If I find your thing, where would you like me to return it to?
That’s a proper image to have associated with your name. Top marks.
Confused. Are we still at war with The Cricketer http://www.kingcricket.co.uk/i-no-longer-write-the-cricketer%E2%80%99s-weekly-newsletter/2012/04/19/ ?
(I would like ‘us’ to be. It’s my default status anyway)
We weren’t at war. We never go to war with potential employers.
But, as some of us are aware, Aggers is now at war with The Cricketer.
I admire that kind of weak principal
It has great information, i want to know about Don Bradman. I learn a lot about this great player the he was the legend and icon of cricketers.
