Title: Death of a Gentleman Cricket Documentary
Post by: sarg on January 25, 2016, 06:50:53 AM
Found out about and watched this film today. Anyone else seen it?

I can't say I'm surprised by the conclusion after reading many articles and magazines over the years about cricket's governance. Whilst Giles Clarke was good enough to give his time he came across as a (No Swearing Please). I am not really saying he is, as documentaries have conclude with that knockout blow and this one unfortunately, whilst sincere in it's aim, felt too much like it was edited by Simon Cowell himself. I was kind of waiting for the guy who works on the trains come onto stage to sing dressed in his greasy work uniform.

Worth a watch if you like test cricket.

Kimber does some really good articles and I like some of the Q&As he does on the cricket subreddit...

As for the film I found it rather dull, the information there wasn't exactly hard to obtain, no?

Yeah links to indian cement were outrageous. Cronyism at it's finest.
