2 Comments »Bong: Trevor McDonald in shock comeback
By Will last year, at the end of October, No Comments; be the first!
Unconfirmed rumours from Channel 4 News (no less) that Trevor McDonald, the Trinidad-born newsreader and chum of cricket, is to come out of retirement to front ITV’s pathetic attempt to take on the BBC (again) with News at Ten. Well, I hope he does. No one reads the news quite as laboriously and….with odd pauses as well as long sentences without breaking as Trevvvvvvvor McDonald.
No Comments »Reporting on sport
By Will 2 years ago, at the start of July, 1 Comment »
Because I’m now fortunate enough to be writing about a sport and running one the internet’s most popular sites, I have an increased interest in journalism, online journalism, news reportage and so on. The BBC’s blogs have given a glimpse into how their sports editors report on it all, and run the website. I remain a big supporter of the Beeb’s site which, for general sports coverage, is unrivalled. Cricinfo is infinitely bigger and offers something entirely different. Anyway I’m not here to make comparisons as to the goods and bads of each service.
I was reading Howard Nurse’s post and was astounded to read they had no less than 10 people dedicated (solely, it appears) to England’s match against Portugal. Is that normal (does anyone know?). Yes it’s the World Cup, and a football tournament at that, but it nevertheless surprised me.
So that’s where our money goes…!

Not with the ICC. Or the ECB. Or the BCCI. Or any other acronym apart, that is, from the “CoU”. An exciting-ish development to report tomorrow, assuming I have time, to tell you all. And an even more thrillsome one in the pipeline for later this year…
