i read that. If possible, hayden sounds even more of a prick from reading that article than before.

lol. You voice my sentiments pal.

AWTA. Go old lady go!

Tbf, Hayden's hardly the first hypocritical Catholic

Arch, I was naturally interested in your review of the Bill Andrews story The Hand that bowled Bradman. I was even more interested in your final paragraph, where you invite readers to read Beyond Bat & Ball and review it for Cricket Web.

I did just that a year ago.

Sorry mate, will have a read of your review, although I imagine I have already read it!

Will be reviewing "The Last Everyday Hero" about Bert Sutcliffe in the next week or so (when I get around to it, that is).

Will be interested to see what you think. Can we put it up on the site?

 

[Smudge]

That was the idea. That's why I had put a message on your personal messages page on your profile...

 

[stumpski]

Good stuff, but I expect Archie will invite someone else to review it a year from now ...

For anyone interested we have just finished a four part series on books about Ashes tours

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

 

[stumpski]

Some of those series were seriously under-reported I thought - none more so than 1970-71 when you consider all that happened; Lawry's sacking, the crowd trouble, the extra Test, the first ODI and so on. If someone could do as good a job on it as David Tossell did with Grovel! they would be guaranteed at least one reader.

For anyone interested here is a preview of what you can spend your hard earned on next year

Sorry, have been a tad slow on this. Give me another month or so...

'twill be much appreciated whenever you can do it...

... and if you could see your way to doing Shane Bond's book after that...

.. not in any hurry for McCullum's though

... and finally

...if in that delightful country of yours you ever come across a copy of "Calypso Kiwi" by Sammy Guillen do please let me know

 

[Smudge]

Don't really have an interest in Bondy or Bazza's books, so I'll leave it to one of the other Kiwis. I could do a review on the Martin Donnelly biography, but it's been years since I read it, so I'll do the Sutcliffe one and contemplate re-reading Donnelly (although I have 3-4 other books to get through after Christmas Day came and went).

 

[Flem274*]

I would do Bond's, but I'd just keep saying I agree with him, so someone less biased should do it.

I don't think you would have to go far for an argument
