Jon's Bio
Big cricket nut, but enjoy most team sports especially NFL and MLB.
Main interest is the social history of sport and its relationship with politics. I feel you can't really understand sport in isolation from the wider factors that influence the world in which we live.

hey jon
right now we are goign throught chanign times in the world of cricket.
And test cricket is something that really needs tp be saved. But I am not sure I or you can do it alone. I think we have to start by debating and discusssing this matter.
So I launch the "Test cricket discussions series. I wrote the first article and am posting it on boards of people who can talk about this with inteligence. I hope you can contribute too
