A car sticker I'd like to see:

Am I the 'Bradman of bloggers' ?

Gideon Haigh is one of my favourite sports journalists. I took his compilation of cricket articles 'Inside Out' away with me on holiday recently. Here's a paragraph I really liked:

Today, 'Bradman' is the benchmark, the ultimate compliment. Nobody speaks of Tiger Woods being the 'Gary Sobers of golf', or Roger Federer as the 'Sunil Gavasksr of tennis'. Indeed, it was ever thus: Walter Lindrum became 'the Bradman of billiards', George Moore the 'Bradman of racing' and Peter Brock the 'Bradman of Bathurst', while Richie Benaud keeps on keeping on, having been dubbed the 'Bradman of the microphone' by English journalist Tim deLisle. It is not a title lightly bestowed. Some believe that John Howard's premiership was doomed from the moment Workplace Relations Minister Joe Hockey called him 'the Don Bradman of Australian politics' last September, inevitably destined for an Eric Hollies moment. Nor does it cut both ways: nobody will ever want to be known as 'the John Howard of cricket'.

A simple misunderstanding

My daughter showed me a picture from the equestrian event at the Paralympics. I didn't have my glasses on so had to guess a bit at what I was seeing. This led to another cartoon idea...

I think this could be even less tasteful if we named the horse Captain Oats.
