Cricket's most parochial hack journo

I nominate Peter Lalor of the filthy murdoch press' The Australian

In today's article PL who was covering the champs v chumps match at the SCG was too embarassed to discuss the inept spiv performance...instead in the bulk of the article he covered in his classic spiv ra ra way the performance of fleas and bollybogan in the nets

I challenge any FB'er to show there is a more inept craven hack than this spiv ra ra merchant

It's a wide field.

I've always thought Malcolm Conn was an utterly sh!t cricket journalist who had nothing to say about anyone until he sensed their blood in the water, at which point he would single-handedly ravage the wounded and howl triumphantly over the scraps

That guy English what works on crocinfo is sh!t*

yeah, and that Christian Ryan chap that skully says isn't him

hehehe

hehehe...both sage noms...maybe we need a reincarnation of a certain west indian ultra leftist cricket afficianado

agree Lardy about the Conn and I loathe cricinfo..

Lalor to me tho is worse than the lowest of low rent ACB site scribes who produce the sutherland/hildy endorsed drivel

Oh to write carp about cricket for a living - I wish.

3 of the forum 5 of Day 1 T5 Ashes have met me.



They know I am not Christian Ryan.

Andrew Miller? I reckon he's pretty good. Great knowledge of English cricket, and tends to hit the nail on the head in regards to the public's feelings regarding certain players.

I've sometimes wondered how Trev's mind works . . now I know it doesn't . . .

You've tried to get inside my head.

That's pretty scary. Right up there with you pretending we met up for a drink in Tokyo......

so it wasn't for a drink?

I'm trying to think of an English journalist worse than Conn - give me a year or two and I'll get back to you.

Roebuck?

Littlejohn, Bushell ?? ... nothing to do with sport, though.

Except in a hue and cry sense.

Not since he got an Aussie passport.

And a brown nose.

Neville Oliver would have had this sewn up a decade ago. God he was awful.

Did Bubbles actually write anything ...or just dribble on the radio?

He used to dribble in the Mercury

There's a small hole in that theory skulls. Have any of the forumers who've met you also met Christian Ryan? I haven't...

Robin Marlar (Sunday Times) in the 70s was an insufferable sanctimonious ass.

His hankering for The Good Old Days of amateurism, Gents v Players and the moral superiority of English cricket were even too much for EW Swanton, who in 1974 after a day's play shortened to half an hour, used all the time left over in his Stumps Summary to tear one Marlar pontification into a million pieces.
