Tell me, Jesse - is there ever an incredible amout of value in an article by anyone?
Honestly, how many articles make pages and pages of fascinating revelations that no-one else could possibly have thought of? A sum-total of zero, I'd say.
I find you and Sean (Fuller) too regularly criticise articles (the one that comes to mind before this on your part is that Dean Jones one after The First Test) for pointing-out stuff that's - to you and me and other people of this board's ilk - pretty obvious.
Fact is, to well-versed cricketing society there are few revelations, because we can all work-out stuff ourselves. You are already aware of most of the stuff that Simpson speaks. Many people (me, for instance) have learnt from the fact that this sort of thing is published.
