At his peak, however, he was a very good all-rounder wielding the bat and ball. When a child, my father taught me all the rules of cricket and this is why I know a) how to play the game, and b) what is going on when watching it (we support Leicestershire County Cricket Club – and we watched them play once). I have tried to teach my partner and children – but the modern youth now have the internet to take their attention! I have played “in-door” cricket – as well as cricket on a proper pitch – and I never wore a helmet (I couldn’t afford one). When standing at the crease – the mind must be calm and expansive – clear and reflective. Peace and self-control must permeate reality – whilst the bat and ball must be properly utilised in a technically perfect manner. There is no hatred for the opposition – or unnecessary attachment to one’s team-mates – all are equal to the true gentleman. This is why I refer to cricket as a form of English Confucianism!

Email: Breeze-Blocks & Boxing Helena! (15.6.2025)

As I sit in my cell today, all hell is breaking loose between two boxers known as the “A-Men” and the “Z-Men”. It is obvious that the crooked Promoters are hell-bent on clearing-house – and any exposure of the ring, its environs, or interior – is met by a fluffy blanket which tucks us all in – nice and snug. This approach prevents anyone on CompressedLetter “seeing beyond the blanket” – and migrating to another promoter – one which possesses a “better view” of the fight-game. Something of a captive audience – as effective counter-punches have been thrown that nobody can see. I believe a number of these devices were sent from the desk of the Titanic as it was sinking – via the new wireless contraption (margelet). Anyway, the fight is fixed and all the Promoters are in on it. To achieve the correct outcome, stories of kittens and puppy dogs are being perpetuated in the media – to take our minds off the injustice that is happening in the ring. I have to go – I hear the rattling of keys…

Enhanced Games organisers said swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev set a 'world record' in the 50m freestyle in a time trial in February

US: Hitlerite-Inspired “Enhanced Games” – Drug-Fuelled Sport Endorsed by Trump & Neo-Nazi Ukraine! (4.6.2025)

Founder Aron D’Souza believes athletes should be entitled to do what they wish with their own bodies.

But the Australian businessman’s concept has been heavily criticised for the potential impact on athletes’ health, and undermining fair play.

UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) said last year its mission was “to protect sport from doping cheats”. It added: “There is no place in sport for performance-enhancing drugs, nor the Enhanced Games.”

At a launch event on Wednesday, Las Vegas was announced as the host of the inaugural Enhanced Games, which will run from 21-24 May 2026.

Organisers said that under their permitted conditions, Greek swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev had gone quicker than the 50m freestyle world record, which has stood since 2009.

Our country has rich and diverse tourist resources to be envied by the world, along with its political stability, institutional advantages and material and economic conditions essential for the development of tourist industry, he said, adding; If the tourist industry is developed by making active use of such favourable conditions and environment, it will open up a new realm of socialist cultural construction and bring about another motive force for promoting regional rejuvenation and national economic growth.

Cuthbert Taylor and his father, Charlie.

Welsh-Children Demand “Apology” for Black-Boxer – Cuthbert Taylor [1909-1977] – Denied Title Shot Due to Colour-Bar! (21.11.2024)

21/11/2024 Adrian (釋大道)

One of the letters to the board reads: “We think that it is unfair that Cuthbert Taylor and other boxers without white, British parents were not allowed to fight for the British title. The colour bar was horrendous, horrific and disgraceful. It was not right then and it is not right now.”

It adds: “It was probably his dream to be the British boxing champion, but your colour bar stopped his dream from coming true.”

Schools that have written to the board include Cwmnedd primary in the Neath Valley, St Joseph’s Catholic junior, Port Talbot; Ysgol Gymraeg Santes Tudful in Merthyr Tydfil and Llanfaes community primary in Brecon. The number of schools involved continues to grow.

Aisling Brady Saunders, the deputy headteacher at St Joseph’s, said: “It was entirely the children’s idea to pen letters – they feel very strongly that Cuthbert Taylor, his surviving family and all boxers affected by the colour bar rule should have an apology.”
