" If the French noblessehad been capable of playing cricket with their peasants, their chateaux would never have been burnt." GM Trevelyan
GMTrevelyan
A great historian, GM Trevelyan had a touching belief in the ability of cricket to quell the revolting masses and keep the guillotine at bay. Given that large parts of the former British Empire combine independence with beating their past colonial masters at cricket (Australia currently excepted of course) GM perhaps need to do more work on his cricketing recipe for class collaboration. Thanks to Mark Smith who uses the GM quote in the titlepiece of his excellent Reverse Swing Manifesto. Available in sizes small (36inch chest/90cms), medium (40inch/100cms), large (44inch/110cms), x-large (48inch/120cms) and xx-large (52inch/130cms).
