Yeah if it had been Burns or Maxwell (as replacement for Smith) then it would have made sense, as they probably shouldn't announce that they're suspending Warner or Bancroft in an indirect way like this. But they kind of are by picking Renshaw first.
Smith's the only one who has been banned so far, so they've just added cover for him so far.
They haven't really, though.
Up there with the most bizarre. But it is no surprise from Telford Vice.
Also the 'woke' bits about how the Boers ran into Shaka etc. Never mind that Shaka died before the Great Trek even began, but whatevs, anything to stay relevant I suppose.
You just got to take a step back and think how does Wisden still employ someone on permanent crack?
I didn't mind Telford that much before, I thought he tried to signal his virtue a bit too much in his articles, but I thought he was a pretty good writer, better than Firdose at any rate (which isn't hard to be fair). But this is really pathetic. In the article one of the photo captions talks about 'Newlines' rather than Newlands. Absolutely dire from Wisden.
Given the scandals of kiddy fiddling going on I wouldn't trust Telford Vice.
He did write good articles.
Makes sense -- he's from Queensland originally I think so maybe he translated for his banana-bending followers.
He's not awful for a Queenslander. They do drink cat's piss up there though. Give me a Castle Lager over a XXXX any day tbh.
