Comparing art to sport, brilliant. Sycophancy/Jingoism comes naturally to Indian media in turns. I love the tone of finality in that article... and the sound of sheep bleating.

This has come up before i think WW has said as much. Seeing is believing. As his memory fades I fear so will his reputation.

Just saw the Jack Egan doco on Bradman. I'd forgotten that anecdote from Bill Brown about the Shueld match vs Victoria when they were playing for the Shield at season's end.
They used to get a new ball at 200 runs back then, and Brown was on 70 odd. Bradman said he should get his ton before the new ball. So as Brown tells the story he was 103 and Bradman was about a dozen, all singles.
When Brown was 128, Bradman was 129. That's a tad crazy really.

I watched it as well. Hadn't seen most of the footage contained in it, but it gives you an idea how good he really was. His late cuts looked like they required no effort at all, and his cover drive looked fantastic. And that isn't even beginning to touch on the pull..
And it shows that Larwood was bloody fast.

Nah, parents stole the remote and started watching some Christmas carols thing, so now its CW.
60/61 has to be one of, if not the greatest test series of all time. The first tied test, great players on both sides, and overall fantastic cricket. Would be the one series I wish I could have witnessed.
Caught the first few minutes or so. Wes Hall's batting looked to be hilarious.

I think Calypso Summer is on there mate. Be surprised if the Bradman one isn't as well.

Aside from the first of the MCG tests, i think most every match went down to the wire.
The tie, Mackay and Kline, and the last test Australia won eight down. IIRC the Windies won in Sydney.
