He has some good thoughts occasionally. Actually, make that very occasionally

That's hardly a startling recommendation for me to get down to Whitcoulls and shell out $39.95 for the hardback edition.

There's a whole other topic in what you've said here; and one that'd fully support. I hate to say it - being from NZ - but Tayls and Healy were two top notch players. One of them was a really decent guy too, and the other... well, he had a lot to say on the pitch, shall we sayAnd yes, IMO Mark Taylor is a very, very underrated batsman. Probably not quite up there with Australia's very best but better than both Hayden and Langer-the-opener, certainly. Probably better than Slater too, though Slater is one of my favourite Australian batsmen.
Ian Healy, too, was a bit more than a "handy number-seven" for quite some time, too.He was a damn superb lower-order batsman for much of his career, and also pretty hopeless at the start of it.
Still, two of the best cricketers from the 90s in my opinion.

Could do to add the start of the saga. And a couple of SW\BLE's posts.

Found this via another old CW thread that Uppercut linked to last week.
There were a lot of Michael Vaughan threads so I chose this one.

Never has someone's commentary/pundit career turned me off a player I liked/Loved more than Vaughan.
Beefy was always a bit of a Tory idjit when he played, so was not surprised how he turned out. Warne destroyed my soul in so much cricket, but I genuinely thought he would have been a great Oz captain, but his blather and repetitive nonsense has made me firmly in the Oz selectors were right camp.

re-read this thread, gawd it reminds me why I don't miss Richard, FCA, Collingwood-hating, getting people to attack him by being utterly unreasonable, then those people being told off, when he's clearly trolling, his enablers were worse than him IMHO. Made this place the Richard Show, and it was basically intentionally as funny as he was.

Obviously before our time, but I remember chatting with a much older Yorkshire fan who'd loved Trueman as a player but absolutely loathed him as a commentator and pundit.

Yeah, think Laker may have had some with similar thoughts, along with Alec Bedser, miserable "it was all better in my day" types.
