Always have, always will.
But right now, with batsmen strutting around like international cricket is a Jacuzzi, I like them even more.
Inconsistent bounce is a motherfucker.
But so is bowing for years on end with pitches that give you less help than an Amish IT guru.
It is my support for pitches that hurt batsmen.
Ofcourse once I support something it usually gets banned forever.
“I want blood, catastrophe and wickets. I want to know a batsman can bat, not just flay bowlers on wickets flatter than an eight-year-old’s chest.”

PDP, No i just assumed that 8 year old boys and 8 year old girls all have flat chests.
Ho, don’t compare me to that shit film. Fucken backwards bullshit, how about making a good film and then making it to backwards.
As an ex opening batsman, who harks back to the pre helmet days, I agree…

Question:
“It is being said that you are the most dangerous and destructive batsman since Viv Richards…
Answer:
Again, I have a long way to go before I can be talked about in the same breath as Sir Viv. I feel I’m too young still. Richards is a legend and it is unfair to compare me to him. But I must admit that it’s a great feeling. That is the way I play. That’s my style. But personally, I do not think I’m in Richards’ class.”
I concur.
Sobers when asked whether he would wear a helmet: “Whats the bat for?”
Someone at Cricinfo is gonna lose their job over this article.
This piece on Cricinfo is like putting a gay version of Irreversible, minus Monica Belluci and plus the rape scene on Disney Channel, Sunday morning.
