  • the message from sabina park is clear enough and worth reflecting on in more walks of life than sport: never, ever underestimate your opponent. perhaps, more accurately, never, ever assume your own superiority. with chris gayle in charge not only are we witnessing the rebirth of west indies cricket, but the rebirth of cool.

But Simon is right, this resonates in many walks of life. Methinks the ‘England Cricket Fan’ is a new subjectivity worth studying for its unique combination of delusion, shame and bullishness.
