Deathrace 1,170 Posted December 24, 2020 May I suggest if we replace him with another cricketer in 2021, the aforementioned Boycott or the last of the Invincibles Neil Harvey would be a good choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
time 8,598 Posted December 24, 2020 I've just seen this news. Apt he should die around Christmas, as it was experimental mistletoe-based medication that had 'cured' his leukemia. Not bad considering he was given 7 years to live 25 years ago. One of the best batsmen imho. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cricket isn’t a recognised activity in civilised countries so I am hoping for more. Isn’t that for sandal-wearers running from Union Carbide or summat? If YOUR country pays attention to cricket you should question your heritage, education, culture, arts and sciences, social structure, means of barter and exchange, government construct, your written constitution, and be wary of your neighbours. You exist on an ignorant phone-answering service society of otherwise unskilled labour and shoddy upbringing. Your citizenry exists to serve those who produce.

torbrexbones 717 Posted December 25, 2020 Another name to scratch from next years list. Edrich was a player of my early days getting into cricket, my dad was a huge fan of the England team of the sixties/seventies and I also remember watching him in Sunday league matches on BBC2. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 11,944 Posted December 25, 2020 I never thought Edrich was a bad pick, just it was boring. Good for two reasons: he contributes to a record-breaking performance and won't be back next year. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You do realise that baseball, the second most popular sport in the States, is a dumbed down version of cricket? It's actually derived from Rounders, which is a children's version of cricket that gets played in all schools in the UK. Do blush. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
