About the Author: Bernard Whimpress
I am a freelance writer and historian based in Adelaide, South Australia. Most of my 54 books are on sport, chiefly cricket, although a couple of titles have been on Adelaide heritage buildings and I have also written a memoir.
By accident I must have hit the Like button to my own post. As a result I then received an email yesterday from WordPress.com [donotreply@wordpress.com) which I thought a trifle impudent and to which I immediately felt the need to reply.
The email read ‘You’re so vain. You probably think Aspects of Australian Test selection is about you.’ Well, no. I’m also not so vain that I thought Carly Simon’s song was about me either. However, I would point out that there appears little sign of the meek inheriting the Earth.
