Arthur Morris Interview

[nevermind]

Arthur Morris did an interview yesterday on Australian radio

Arthur Morris - ABC Conversations with Richard Fidler

Very interesting interview, and funny too!

 

[Red]

Arthur Morris is a gentleman.

 

[Burgey]

Another great old name. "Arthur". Should be more of it.

 

[Burgey]

That's a terrific interview actually. Well worth a listen.

read it on cricinfo and loved it. Mr Morris sounds like a true gentleman and a great bloke all around.

"We didn't have to hug each other, which is good because we didn't have all these deodorants you have these days. If I had put my arm around Bill O'Reilly I wouldn't be here talking to you today."

Good stuff

I love his thoughts on not really coaching as well. Wish there was more of the less in the world

 

[The Battlers Prince]

He's been dreaming about scoring footy tries and getting better at tennis! That's just classic

 

[Burgey]

It was interesting to hear him say at some point that he never really felt he was that good a player. You'd think after excelling for an extended period those sort of self doubts would fade away.

Gilly was the same. It really comes through in his book how much he doubted himself, which is pretty remarkable considering he was one of the greatest cricketers of all time.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

When its happening it can make a difference I guess, in retrospect I think when Morris hears some of things he achieved, if he wasn't such a gentleman he'd be saying how awesome he was. To outscore and average the Don in the same amount of innings. Helped by his last innings sure, but still a big achievement.
I loved his perspective on things too. Stupid commentators making big stories out of side issues, and he was laughing like they were nothing, which of course they were. Except perhaps if he had gone out drinking with Miller! I'd love to be asked to party with Keith Miller!

 

[nevermind]

RIP.

Listen to this, its terrific.
