New kid on the block

Holy cow on the tarmac, a new kid on the block by the name of Dave Richardson wants to tutor Elmo Rodrigopulle who has not only played cricket at the highest level but has also followed the vagaries of the game and reported on it in an authoritative manner for several years.

If I may draw a likeness in certain aspects, a foreign pundit was to hold forth in the 60s on soil conservation by covering the forests with wood shavings, abundantly available at saw mills and when Oliver Koelmeyer was asked by a colleague whether he would attend, Oliver said no, but wished that the pundit be asked if he had ever heard of termites.

Oliver Koelmeyer possessed a First Class Honours degree in Forestry from the University of Oxford.
