Death Of A Gentleman

[Yorkfox]

Halfway thru this at the moment. It's a documentary currently on Netflix released in 2015 and investigating the potential death of Test Cricket. Really good watch up to now and definitely worth a look, particularly if cricket interests you.

Thanks for the h/u. I was affected by this, and educated.
Too much to offer a glib response but seeing a sport captured by capital reminded of the ESL which we saw off but they will regroup and come again. At least vultures wait until something's dead...

Thanks.
I have saved it to watch later.

If you've got Prime, this is also good:

And if you can find "Fire In Babylon" free-to-watch anywhere, also recommended. Of course, you may have seen these already!

[What?]

Money always seems to get what it wants

We Premier League team supports shouldn't be too smug

That is exactly the point.
Like many things we take for granted as part of our culture, sport, music, etc. it has been captured, repackaged and sold back to us.
Many fans unwittingly collaborate in this unfortunately because in the end only we can take ownership back
and end this cycle of cultural theft.
