Typical nonsense really: it's political correctness got nuts to pick out Devon Malcolm as "someone who came to England as part of an immigrant family in Sheffield and someone who went on to take over 1,000 first-class wickets and show just what could be done".
Fraser knocked spots off him.. as did Caddick.. and Gough. All three were better role models. Daft. |
OK, you might not rate his as a test bowler ( I do, and had he had a Troy wassisname he could have been brilliant) but 1000 first class wickets is 1000 first class wickets. With the current england coaching set up I think he's a great role model, and I dont think its PC gone mad, just an obvious candidate for a role model. Also think financially disadvanteged rathter than than black on this one. The fact that big dev covers both camps is irrellevent.
