See the quote above - the one below the title of this blog? Well, those frightfully nice people at Philosophy Football have stuck it on a T shirt.
As they say in their blurb -
"A great historian, GM Trevelyan had a touching belief in the ability of cricket to quell the revolting masses and keep the guillotine at bay. Given that large parts of the former British Empire combine independence with beating their past colonial masters at cricket (Australia currently excepted of course) GM perhaps need to do more work on his cricketing recipe for class collaboration."

And while we're at it, they've also committed some of the words of cricket's greatest ever commentator to cotton too.
''Say that cricket has nothing to do with politics and you say that cricket has nothing to do with life'' - John Arlott.
You can order that one here.
