Rewriting NZvs WI History

Imagine Bishop participating in NZ's whitewashed, rewriting of their at home 1980 "teefery" I'd never, ever be persuaded to participate in that had I been Bish. Hadlee there instead of shamefully admitting he didn't walk when out, Wright lying about everything was from chest to head when half the wkts taken in TNT were bowled/lbs, to Harper or runout. Add the catches in the arc from length balls. Even Bim and Yard test wasn't just short-pitched bowling.

Agree - the difference with me and most of allyuh re Bishop is that when Cozier knew it was the great Makeba playing on di sound system at Bourda (during a test match against the Saffies) and he didn’t know who she was, dat was dat re my expectations.

Nothing has changed since. Some of his cricket comments are OK.

The eat a food posse is real and omnipresent in all spheres.

The "Re-writerz of Their-story" ensured Bish was the one to say Croft did bowl a no-ball.

Doesn't Bish know that accumulative events led to Croft bumping Goodall?

If the sequence of deliveries from no-ball to bumping incident wasn't edited?

That in an interview now removed from YouTube Goodall referred to Clive Lloyd as "The Typical Lazy West Indian?"
