[NSC] Favourite ALEC

[DavidinSouthampton]

Alec Guinness. Superlative actor. One of the best speaking voices ever. Wonderful as George Smiley, let alone all the Ealing films.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

With the news Alec Scott will be heading up and all female BBC presenting team for the forthcoming World Cup, who is NSC's favourite?

I wonder how many tiddlers you've caught in your 'Alex, not Alec, you fool' net?

Beam me up, Scotty.

Edit: and I missed that you'd pulled the same stunt with Fergy. FFS. I need to focus. FOCUS!

Alec Stewart is one of England's most underrated cricketers. He worked hard at his game and maximised all of his talent.

3rd most test dismissals as a wicketkeeper in tests for England, and when playing as a specialist batsman in Test cricket, Stewart averaged 46.90 in 51 games with 9 centuries. Since World War II only Len Hutton, Geoffrey Boycott, Dennis Amiss and Alastair Cook have bettered Stewart's average of 46 as a specialist opening batsman for England.

He was a fine player, and captain too for some time if I recall. You wonder how much better he could have been if he didn't play in that god awful 90s test team.

Neither he nor Thorpe won an Ashes series, an absolute travesty.

I blame the Aussies.
