The philosophy of cricket.
That means I say controversial things that attempts to challenge the dominant paradigms in current cricket thinking. Yes. The paradigms.
I also try to say nice things about spinners.

Name That Bum #15
Right. Bit of a toughie this week. It's another Bum From the Past - as well as being a Miriam Bum in One.
What a treat.
Whoever wins gets something life-changingly wonderful.This week we'll play using Stockholm rules.
The only old wicketkeeper I know is Godfrey Evans.
In fact, for a while I thought he was the only English cricketer that existed because he was ALWAYS the answer in Trivial Pursuit.
So I'm going to say him - despite the lack of corpulence and unsighting on the mutton chops. If Trivial Pursuit has taught me anything it is to always guess Godfrey Evans.
Trueman.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea, but perhaps if I comment you'll give a hint.
OK.
ReplyDeleteHint: it's not Freddy Trueman.
Bradman?
ReplyDeleteSorry. Not that obvious.
ReplyDeleteCompton?
ReplyDeleteAlthough that might be classed as obvious.
Len Hutton?
ReplyDeleteH'mmm..
ReplyDeleteNot a bad thought, Lisa. The pertness of the bum is indeed similar to Compton's own shapely behind.
But you're not quite there. Maybe you've got the batsman line wrong...
Ian Meckiff??
ReplyDeleteDue to lack of knowledge of cricketers from the past this will be hard for me. I guess... Ray Illingworth. This name was taken at random.
ReplyDeleteJim Laker?
ReplyDeleteH'mmm...
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit quiet this week.
Ok. You've tried batsmen. And you've also tried bowlers.
H'mmm.
Alan Knott?
ReplyDeleteH'mmmm...
ReplyDeleteIt's looking like the Name That Bum this week might be a win for me...
Er, Bob Taylor?
ReplyDeleteOooh yeah...
ReplyDelete*does a little pre-emptive victory dance*
I'm finally going to beat you smug buggers!

Rod Marsh?
ReplyDelete*sound of bottom of barrel being scraped*
It's Les Ames!
ReplyDeleteNooooooooooooooooooo!
ReplyDeleteDavid Barry got it.
David Barry always gets it.
Damn you David Barry, damn you.
