Best and worst cricket journalists

[pasag]

Not the appropriate thread or forum, but from Mike Selvey in The Age:

HOW quickly fortune's wheel can turn. Last week, the West Indies were humiliated by Pakistan, bowled out for 85. But yesterday at Sabina Park, which has been massively developed, they gained revenge when it mattered.

But when I checked the source, at the Guardian it was correct:

How quickly fortune's wheel can turn. Last week, West Indies were humiliated by India, bowled out for 85. But yesterday at Sabina Park, which has been massively developed, they came good when it mattered.

Which begs the question are The Age messing with his articles or did the Guardian correct the mistake after he submitted it to The Age?

Intriguing.

I must admit that part of the reason for me having a high opinion of Richard Boock is that he's my friend's dad. Even though her last name is Boock I'd never made the connection, so I was quite startled when he started making a speech at her 21st. I thought he might be lost or something. Until I actually thought about it.

Was a very funny speech btw.

I like him too Ed. He doesn't give a rat's if he ruffles feathers within NZ Cricket and writes with good humour and insight

Whatever one may think of Kamran Abbasi (not the most level-headed or objective journalist in my book) this latest article of his is hilarious:

Jon Coates for one of my favourites - always writes an entertaining and generally well researched article without much of the drivel we see so often.
