[Johan]

Obviously Greenidge

Edmund Blackadder - “The Scarlet Pimpernel is the most overrated human being since Judas Iscariot won the A.D. 31 Best Disciple Competition.”

much the same can be said about Ken Barrington the cricketer

 

[Johan]

10-1, Nice.

 

[Coronis]

10-1, Nice.

Probably the right odds to give for Greenidge outperforming Barrington over a series.

Ken

 

[Johan]

 

[Coronis]

[Migara]

Barrington and it's not even close

 

[Migara]

10-1, Nice.

that single performance of Gordon will be remembered better than 10 performances of Ken. It is cruel for steady performers.

 

[Johan]

surely someone has an argument for Gordon
