You suggesting they are doing this for charity?runs for run.
Wasn't he (the author of that article) briefly a member here?Yes he was, and I think so much of it came down to confidence. Or lack of.
The one time I had a letter published in WCM was after an early season interview with Caddick in 2004. Perhaps he had been injured for much of 2003? But anyway, he was arguing that he should be recalled to the England side at a time when it was obvious to everyone else that things had moved on. iirc the other point in my letter addressed a previous letter by the bloke who had previously written the infamously racist article that WCM saw fit to publish a few years earlier, and he was arguing that Simon Jones shouldn't be in the side as he was insufficiently English. Naturally I gave both of them fairly short shrift.
Yes, very briefly indeed. I think Martin had written a piece about the article and the subsequent furore. Out of courtesy, he informed the guy, maybe to check the facts or to invite him to offer an up-to-date view. Cue the usual orgy of self-justification from the man himself, and I did wonder if he was going to clog up and ruin CW in the same way as he had with a previous chat group that I used to use. Thankfully not, but I don't know whether he just couldn't be bothered and left or if the mods suggested that he wasn't welcome here.Wasn't he (the author of that article) briefly a member here?
