So I’m making a film about Test Cricket with Sampson Collins.
It’s called Death of a Gentleman, and it’s about where Test Cricket is in the scheme of things.
We’ve talked to Rahul Dravid and Testing Times. We’ve been in Haroon Lorgat’s hotel room and chatted to old Indians about Neil Harvey.
Ravi Shastri has got aggressive with us and Steve Waugh never flinched even as a ball almost hit him in the head.
In short this is a few of the people we’ve interviewed so far:
Rahul Dravid
Haroon Lorgat
Mark Nicholas
Ravi Shastri
Saurav Ganguly
Eddie Cowan
Kerry O’Keefe
Harsha Bhogle
Sambit Bal
Steve Waugh
Pat Cummins
John Inverarity
Jim Maxwell
Mark Taylor
Neil Maxwell
Gideon Haigh
There are more to come.
This film is going ahead, but to make it as good as it can be, we need your cash.
So if you have some, please send it this way.
But for now, see the first of what I assume will be many teaser trailers as we try do something for the dirty old lady we love.

Good luck with this guys. Will definitely get the DVD – and I’m sure it’ll make it! Would have sent you some money, but you’ve interviewed Harsha Bhogle out of all the people. I’m not a violent man, but I think if I ever came across him, I would be severely tested…
Judging from the people interviewed so I’d rather go for trek across Lapland with the native herders. Once you add Ian Chappell to that list its a goner.
