I cant believe anyone comparing Richards with Border. Except that both used a cricket bat

Part of the reason I chose this quote was to bring into focus the gentleman's past record given his judgment has come in for some criticism recently!

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Geoff Miller?

 

[fredfertang]

That's the man - remarkable comments in my view - dont know where or when he said it but its quoted in a book about AB called "What they said about him" which is, as the title suggests, a collection of quotes about him

Not enough of the bad things people said about them for my likeing

Your turn mate

Okay here is a very intersting one though very easy for anyone who has read the story once.

An astrologer was once called by a rich family for some consultations and predictions about the future of some family members. When he came, he found four gentlemen sitting in big armchairs. Behind one of them stood a servant, waving a fan. The austrologer, after seeing the hands of the four gentlemen, asked to see the hand of the servant and then predicted that he would be a "king in sport".

Who was the servant and what happened to him after this incident.
