Gideon Haigh is a very repsected cricket writer, way to respected to stick around here and read this filth.
So he probably didn’t hear about Dirk Nannes from here.
Thanks to the IPL (God bless little Lalit), even Gideon has heard of Dirk.
And Gideon loves him.
So much so that he wants him to run the ICC.
I don’t see Dirk as some lowly cricket administrcrat.
I see him as a Genghis Khanian Galactic overlord.

Gideon has been ‘tut-tut’ing over the IPL for weeks now, in this kind of ‘its not quite cricket’ style, in much the same way the English press have been wringing their hands over it now that some poms are actually playing in it.
Like a true Victorian, suddenly a bit of success from his fellow Mexicans, and now his all over it like a rash.
Look, I quite like Gideon, but I get the feeling that he’s always fantasising he’s writing for The Times not just when he’s writing for other papers, even when he’s just talking.
Still, any Dirk publicity is good publicity.
Dirk drties Gideon.
If Dirk becomes president, he should mandate all players to sport a manly beard.
Did I catch you thanking Lalit Modi?
David Hussey for PM and Nannes for President – Looks like Victoria might be the new capital!
bloody vics. should just stick to aussie rules.
I had actually googled those exact words a few weeks back expecting to find very little. However you find some filthy stuff about the Gideons and their penchant for homosexuality
“In the autumn of the year 1898, John H. Nicholson of Janesville, Wisconsin, came to the Central Hotel at Boscobel, Wisconsin, for the night. The hotel being crowded, it was suggested that he take a bed in a double room with Samuel E. Hill of Beloit, Wisconsin. The two men soon discovered that both were Christians. They had their evening devotions together, and on their knees before God the thoughts were given which later developed into an association – we shall be called Gideons they said. And Dirty Dirk will be our effective witness”
Frighteningly this is a true story
