Subject: Cardus Archive
I had about an hour spare today, and decided not to sleep or chase
sheep for a change. Being the inveterate googler I am, I decided to
try and put together something of an archive of extracts from the work
of Neville Cardus on rec.sport.cricket. For better or worse, he does
seem to be the most sought-after Cricket writer. There have been
frequent requests from people looking for his stuff. I'll put together
a brief biography sometime if people are interested.

My intention here is to set up a thread to which people looking for
Cardus's work can be pointed. Contrary to popular perceptions, RSC
isn't just about flaming. There are valuable things we can do towards
the preservation and dissemination of information. (Cricket certainly
deserves it.) As we know all too well, books don't last forever.
Electronic media might not, either, but it's the best we have for the
moment. Helpfully, many of the extracts below have some context added.

I'm not sure this list is anything near comprehensive. If anyone can
find more, they're more than welcome to post them. I'm posting both
full links and tinyurls. The tinyurls may well die, hence the longer
links.

Without wanting to be anything of a newsgroup policeman, I might also
request that if anyone finds articles in future, or decides to
transcribe them, that they add them to this thread. It should also be
useful for people intending to transcribe Cardus, so as to avoid
repetition.

All right, here goes. It's in no particular order, either.

Well, that's all for now. If anyone does find anything more, please do
post it here. I think Cricketislife! went through a phase where she
posted some stuff from the Wisden website. As far as I know, many of
those links are now inaccessible, but I'm happy to be corrected.
