CRICKET
Lamenting the death of the gentlemanâs game
I played cricket for more than 30 years. I saw all of the 1946/47 Boxing Day Test, saw Bradman make 100 and watched all the greats that became the ââInvinciblesââ in England in 1948. What heroes for any boy to try to emulate. There was a saying in those days when referring to unsportsmanlike or untoward behaviour as âânot being cricketââ. It was as if the game of cricket was indeed a moral code.
