    MCC ‘more human, not so aloof and distant’

    By Will last year, mid-December, 2 Comments »

    Mike Atherton meets Mike Brearley, the former England captain who was named as MCC’s new president in May. In a wide-ranging piece, Brearley looks ahead to the future - and Atherton is convinced the MCC could not be in safer hands:

    “The appointment of Keith Bradshaw [the Tasmanian chief executive of the MCC] could not have happened 20 years ago. He’s very forward-thinking and keen to keep Lord’s and the MCC relevant. In short, the MCC has become, I think, more obviously human, not so aloof and distant.”

    George Bush plus cricket equals hilarity

    By Will 2 years ago, at the start of March, 11 Comments »

    Take one American president, sprinkle with cricket, sit back and relax.

    If, like me, you find anything George Bush says, or does, utterly hilarious - not to mention inexplicable, without cause or reason etc etc - then please look at him playing cricket. It’s very funny. Blogged at The Googly, and the BBC have a gallery of photos which, as is Bush’s want, make him look a complete retard. Splendid!

    I mean will you look at him?
