prinzo Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 Only because he has many test runs. This "knighthood" is becoming cheap with every Tom dick and Harry receiving it
YCCC Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Sports people should not get honours like this but nice to see someone I actually give a crap about getting one rather than some random cyclist or runner or rugby player or whatever. Will be interesting when they announce him coming in to bat at Headingley for Essex next year anyway. Will they call him Sir or not? I say not in protest over "Sir" Geoffrey of Fitzwilliam never getting one!

coffee_rules Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Collingwood and the 2005 Ashes squad got a MBE, not knighthood.
