With many thanks to Voltman for finding this:


Batsman, wicketkeeper, writer, scientist, designer ... there's more to Peter McGlashan than meets the eye.

As a wicketkeeper, he's pushing Brendon McCullum in the New Zealand Twenty20 cricket side.

As a batsman, his unique style is earning him a reputation as a go-to man when you need runs in a hurry.

As a designer, he has made his mark with his own wicketkeeping mask, which resembles the one worn by baseball catchers, and is working on batting gloves with manufacturer Aero.

With a degree in biomechanics, he has had input into a cricket shoe made by Nike.

As a writer? Well, let's say, blogger extraordinaire Iain O'Brien has a real rival in this New Zealand teammate.

Without being disrespectful to O'Brien, it's fair to say McGlashan's blog on cricketweb.net is of a higher intellectual order. A recent post references Albert Einstein, Thomas Alva Edison and Leonardo da Vinci

Great publicity, shows you what a great move it was to get some pro-cricketers writing for the site.

Last year it was the Indepedent, last night Burgey and a couple of others were quoted in the online version of The Times and now the Sunday Star Times. Heck I think we have been quoted in Syndey's Daily Telegraph. Shows the quality of posters we have on here and indeed the quality of the website and forum to have this much exposure.

Well done James, Peter McGlashan and the CW team :)

lol at Burgey, Noble One and JimmyGS getting a guernsey in The Times! That's awesome. Although Jimmy would be unimpressed being described as an Aussie?

Wish I'd said something wittier than " :laugh: "

Stoked to be getting a mention in The Times. All the more impressed as I posted whilst hungover.

Yeah pretty good site this...... only come on here when the cricket in on.
Best part about the site apart from knowledgeable posters.... forums are quite mature not so much bitching around.

Very fair call. O'Brien's blog floats around simple most of the time, occasionally dipping down to cringe-inducing.

You got quoted in the Sunday Times over here as a 'blogger down under' after the England v Netherlands game.

That really fails to capture Burgey's real spirit. Where were the drunken misspellings and rants about England's use of mints? That's what I want to see in the Times.

Was too early in the morning, and I'm saving myself for the Ashes (as, apparently, are Australia).....
