The Grand Old Man of English Cricket was rooming with Albert Hornby, who
got up early one morning. Grace asked him where he was going.

"To have my cold bath, of course," Hornby replied.

"Ooooh!" exclaimed Grace. "Monkey, you do make me shudder!"

Hornby may have revolutionised the Nineteenth-Century game with his
diabolically short singles, but he was not quite so forward-looking as
to don Twentieth-Century hairdos and zinc cream.

He actually earned his nickname for being something of a homunculus.
His aspect, too, was distinctly simian:

I admit that my subject line is misleading, but surely it's obvious that
I *intended* to mislead? I was trying (with typically little success)
to be funny.

I do not for a second believe that W.G. was a racist. Accounts of his
benevolence and genuine humanity are legion. I highly doubt that skin
colour, even in those heady days of blinkered bigotry, would have
changed that.

Grace played cordial host at Crystal Palace to the West Indians for the
opening match of their 1900 tour of England and even delivered a rare
speech during the luncheon (quite something given how rare W.G. speeches
were).

He was also a close china plate to the Indian Prince Ranjitsinjhi (who
suffered no small amount of racism in the early stages of his British
residence). There exists a charming photograph of Ranji and Grace at
Shillinglee Park, the latter embracing the Indian culture by replacing
his omnipresent M.C.C. cap with a turban.

Although he didn't play against the 1868 Aborigines, W.G. joined in a
light-hearted ball-throwing contest with them, and was gracious enough
to accord the unequivocal all-time Damien Hirst Drum in /Cricket/ to
Billy the Aboriginal. (I say "unequivocal" because next to G. Brown's
second-placed 137 yards is the bracketed appendant "doubtful".)

W.G. was obviously a singular example, though. In Lord Hawke's
autobiography, black folk are referred to simply as "niggers".

C.B. Fry, too, was far from innocent, although you'd think, given his
close ties with Ranji, that he'd be highly unlikely to entertain
Verwoerdesque racial outlooks.

For all he was fascinated by Indian beliefs and customs (not least of
all the caste system), and of the opinion that the "only way to be
pro-British [...] was to be pro-Indian", Fry was rather less
accommodating towards people of African descent.

Once, in /Fry's Magazine/, he suggested that white sprinters were
naturally better than black ones: "We do not wish to cast any undue
reflection on the mental capacity of the negro, but experience has shown
that, so far as speed at an athletic meeting is concerned, the white man
has an immeasurable advantage over the black, and quite conceivably the
absence of brain quickness may explain the matter."

In 1948, during a BBC radio broadcast, Fry had a tremendous row with
John Arlott, who had taken exception to his comments about "the American
darkie Jesse Owens". The broadcast was immediately disrupted, and Fry
was furious. Dubbing Arlott an extreme case of "gross stupidity" and
"impudence", he argued that the term "darkie" was far less offensive
than (har, har) "negro", which, he said, sounded too much like "nigger".
His relationship with Arlott fell to pieces thereafter.

Fry's links with Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany are a source of great
intrigue and concern. His only novel, /A Mother's Son/, contains
numerous traces of anti-semitism. A character named Goldstein, for
example, is portrayed as an "oily" and untrustworthy cheat. Fry also
seems to have seen much merit in autocratic rule, and endeared himself
greatly to the Hitler Youth.

Digressing with all the shamelessness of a born lady, it is remarkably
easy to pick out those players' Nineteenth-Century equivalents.

Matthew Hayden, the left-handed dasher, is every ounce to the present
side what Hugh Massie was to its antediluvian forbearer. Big, brawny
and powerful, he can take take the game away in an instant, refusing to
be dominated and so doing the dominating.

Ricky Ponting is much like Billy Murdoch, the right-handed batting
genius and skipper, invaluable to his side and a cause for eternal
concern to his opponents.

Michael Clarke is Sammy Jones, the promising young right-hander caught
in the horse and cart of one of the worst on-field furores the game has
known.

Adam Gilchrist is Jack Blackham, the ground-breaking wicketkeeper.
Where Blackham abolished the long-stop, Gilchrist abolished the
specialist gloveman.

What follows, excerpted from Charles Igglesden's 1932 tome /Those
Superstitions/, came as something of a shock to me. I had always
regarded W.G. as a happy-go-lucky old codger, certainly not the sort to
fret about silly personal observances. Apparently, though, he did.

"That greatest of cricketers," writes Igglesden, "was obsessed with the
superstition that if his name in the batting list was opposite an even
number he would make no runs."

Which would go some way towards explaining why Grace almost always
opened the batting. But, as Igglesden points out, it was, after all,
"his obvious and enviable position".

Like Mike Procter, we on RSC are nothing if not thorough. Hence, to
find out whether W.G. had cause to be so very frightened of
even-numbered positions, I call upon Aslam to tell us how Grace did on
those rare occasions that he batted in them.

To all the FREEDOM LOVERS IN THE WORLD,

Today I created an email/user id and USED ODD NUMBERS in
the email/user id. I somehow felt even numbers always bring me
bad luck.

These FBI n NSA PSYCHOPATH Rodney Ulyate read my PRIVATE
THOUGHTS with SECRETLY INSTALLED
SYNTHETIC TELEPATHY chips and POSTED HIS
COMMENT which explicitly mentions about the
SUPERSTITION of EVEN NUMBERS of WG Grace.

It is NOT A COINCIDENCE Rodney Ulyate SUDDENLY
started DISCUSSING the SUPERSTITION of EVEN NUBMERS
of WG Grace.

In fact the WORST NUMBER for me is the Number 8 and
when I thought inside my mind about it a few months back,
FBI and NSA PSYCHOPATHS read my PRIVATE THOUGHT
and CALLED MY CELL PHONE# from a NUMBER
888-888-8888.

I STILL HAVE the PROOF of this on my CELL phone BILL from
T-Mobile.

There is NO SUCH NUMBER as 888-888-8888 in reality. FBI n
NSA PSYCHOPATHIC BASTARDS "SPOOFED" that number
and called my cell phone#.

This PSYCHOPATH Rodney Ulyate has been POSTING MY
PRIVATE THOUGHTS on internet for MONTHS. I will POST
MORE PROOF later.

If this doesnt prove the EXISTENCE and USE OF
SYNTHETIC TELEPATHY technologies and PSYCHO-ELECTRONIC
WEAPONS being used by AMERICAN GOVERNMENT
PSYCHOPATHS to TORTURE hundreds of thousands of
AMERICANS and NON-AMERICANS I dont know what will
for the 310 million DUMB AMERICANS (PUSSERICANS) who
think they are living in a free society.

I will post a SCANNED COPY of my CELL PHONE BILL on internet if any
of you recommend a newsgroup. But I will black out everything else though
except the 888-888-8888 PHONE call I received on my cell phone
and its DATE and TIME of the call.

FBI n NSA PSYCHOPATH Rodney Ulyate,

I put a $10,000 BOUNTY on YOUR PSYCHOPATHIC HEAD
and you are RUNNING AWAY like a TYPICAL FBI n NSA
PUSSY without filing a police complaint to get me arrested OR
MEETING ME FACE TO FACE to SETTLE THE SCORES.

What say FBI n NSA PSYCHOPATH Rodney Ulyate ???
YOU and ME with the SAME WEAPON .38 Caliber Glock,
anytime, anywhere.....

will personally pay $10,000 US to any one who KILLS this FBI n NSA
PSYCHOPATH Rodney Ulyate or other PSYCHOPATHS MacJoubert,
Tilman Tea, John Winthrop who post on rec.sport.cricket from
anonymous and some times multiple IP addresses.

If any one on this newsgroup received personal emails from Rodney
Ulyate or any other FBI n NSA PSYCHOPATHS in the past,
I would LOVE get those EMAILS from you and I will
APPROPRIATELY COMPENSATE depending on the
VALUE of the email for me to TRACE this FBI n NSA
PSYCHOPATHIC BASTARD who is TORTURING
hundreds of thousands of INNOCENT AMERICANS
SECRETLY and ILLEGALLY.


I CHALLENGE this FBI n NSA PSYCHOPATH Rodney
Ulyate to file a complaint with police and GET ME ARRESTED
for declaring a PUBLIC $10,000 BOUNTY on his BLOOD
THIRSTY PSYCHOPATHIC HEAD.


I am WAITING, PSYCHOPATH Rodney Ulyate.


Rodney Ulyate,


Did you forget how I chased UNDERCOVER FBI agent Kathleen Taylor
(who lives at 29390 Bermuda Ln, Southfield MI 48034 USA back in 2002)
on W. 12 Mile Rd in July 2002 and she called your FBI operators and
told them "He is chasing me, he is chasing me, what should I do"
and your FBI operators advised her "LOSE HIM, LOSE HIM".


ROFLMAO


Is her phone number still 248-356-1946 ? It was hers back in 2002.


Is Kevin Taylor her boy friend or husband ?


HOW MANY AMERICANS identified an UNDERCOVER
FBI AGENT surveilling them in public and then CHASED them
in the 250 year HISTORY OF USA ?


ONLY ONE AMERICAN, thats me.


What would 310 AMERICANS (PUSSERICANS) "normally"
do when they know UNDERCOVER FBI AGENTS are
watching (surveilling) them ?


Did you NOTICE the DIFFERENCE between those 310 mil
PROGRAMMED AMERICANS (PUSSERICANS) and ME ?
LOL

It is a COMMON PRACTICE for these FBI n NSA PSYCHOPATHS to
POST PRIVATE THOUGHTS of TORTURE VICTIMS on internet newsgroups
in the form of " words in comments" or "subject title" or "posters name" or
"their email id" This was REPORTED by MANY OTHER TORTURE VICTIMS
in AMERICA that INCLUDE WHITE CHRISTIANS who are VERY
INTELLIGENT with ADVANCED degrees like Masters and PHD in Physics,
Chemistry, Psychology, Electrical Engineering, Computers, Sociology, Math
and some of the victims are even DOCTORS.
