If #CLRJames' famous question: “what do they know of cricket, who only cricket know?”, sought to challenge English cricket’s elitist historical orthodoxy, he failed in his task.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1901, #Marxist author #CLRJames was born in #Trinidad. Known for books on the #HaitianRevolution and #PanAfrican revolt, here is one of his on #DirectDemocracy, since so many people falsely believe Marxism requires #bureaucracy.

Indeed. Sadly ironic that the ‘suits’ running the game exemplify #CLRJames maxim: ‘what do they know of cricket, who only #cricket know?’.
