Jon Writes About

The Short List facts and information about Jon Naylor

Favorite Athletes

Steven Gerrard, Fernando Torres, Ian Rush, Novak Djokovic, Lewis Hamilton, Joe Calzaghe, Ricky Hatton, Ian Bell, George Best, Kevin Pietersen, Shane Warne, Sachin Tendulkar, Ian Botham.

Favorite Sports Teams

Liverpool FC, England and Wales Cricket Team, London Wasps and the Delhi Daredevils

All Time Sports Moment

Liverpool 3-3 AC Milan (Liverpool win 3-2 on penalties) - best final I've ever seen and possibly the best final ever.

Most Memorable Game Attended

Tottenham 4-4 Chelsea.

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Don Bradman's Test average - a heartbreaking 99.94. Dixie Dean's records come a close second - 383 goals in 433 appearances for Everton, 60 league goals in one season.

Ruth or Mays?

Ruth. She's much nicer.

Pele or Maradona?

Pele - his hands were only ever on the trophies, not the ball.

Federer or Sampras?

Both have achilles' heels at the French, but I'd plump for the Fed through his sheer and unadulterated class with every stroke he makes.

Tiger or Nicklaus?

The Golden Bear until Tiger beats his 18 Majors record.

Schumacher or Senna?

Senna for me; a tragic loss to the sport and one that has had permanent repercussions.

    Hey Jon—how's it going?

    Just wanted to check in and see how things in the Cricket Community were going. Seems like we're getting a solid base of writers together but that we're having more trouble generating discussions in the threads...

    What about writing on the bulletin boards of the Community's top members and encouraging them to get more involved/comment on every article? This also might be a good time to begin publishing a weekly Round Table where you get the best Cricket minds on B/r together to talk about the game each week.

    Let me know thoughts when you have a chance. Hope you're having a great summer!!

    Hey Jon,
    Something seems to be the matter with the Cricket page. It hasn't been updated for over 3 days!
    The front page is still showing age old articles. Even the round-table hasn't been put on the front page.
    What's the problem?

    Hey Jon,

    Unlike team pages, on league pages freshness of the content is only ONE FACTOR in determining which articles are featured.

    Just as significant of a factor is the community's opinion of this article—aka star rating.

    As a Community Leader, you should make rating all the new Cricket articles part of your routine. To locate all the Cricket articles, just click the "See more featured stories" link at the bottom of the page.

    I'd also encourage you to write notes on the bulletin boards of the top Cricket contributors and encourage them to do the same.

    I also want to let you know that we're in the process of building a way for Community Leaders to rate articles far more easily than this—should be ready to rock in a few weeks.

    Hope that makes sense...let me know if you have further questions.

    Hey Jon,'

    I was just thinking your twenty 20 lineup could be a good idea for a roundtable...and the writers would have explain why the picked some players that they did..

    Hey Jon,

    First off all my apologies,if I offended you.

    Hey,

    After the overwhelming success of the inaugural “round table” discussion in the World Football Community, we plan to move one step further.

    This time round the discussion will be based on the following topic:

    “Who do you think will win the Euro 2008 Championship and why?”

    If you want to take part, then please write 50-100 words answering that question and send it to worldfootball@post.com
    Kindly send in your answers latest by Tuesday ( 17 June 2008) and they will be published in an article on BR.
    Regards,
    SS
