I’ve put the new plonker on ignore. How have the mods not acted to remove this blatant troll already?

Every time I see him bat, I wince. That shovel-ly slap he does down the ground now with half a bat face, I just don't know how a guy of his natural ability and ability to play good cricket shots got to this point. It's just all so ugh. Having said that, I'm now reading Steve Smith's Men and it's an insight as to why his talent might've been butchered through little fault of his own.

Seen you mention that book a couple of times now Steve - who is it by, worth a read?

Geez I crapped on about it, didn't I. I really enjoyed it though. Really interesting look into the way Australia played its cricket through the 2010s and how that led to the sandpaper incident, CA's lack of accountability etc. I don't know who Geoff Lemon is, but it's incredibly well written.

Combed through that and Commander in Cheat (book about Donald Trump's penchant for cheating at golf) in a day. So good.

He wrote a follow up about the 2019 summer which is equally good.
