I am usually very anti split infinitives. But for some reason I rather like this one.

But I would have gone for commas to, as it were, enhance the effect.

“you have to, at some point, do something demented.”

I don’t think the world is as bothered about split infinitives these days, e normous. All part of the general slide into the grammatical abyss. Like not using capitals and full stops. Sad times.

btw, is “you have to at some point do” grammatically correct? it’s like “to boldly go”, I think? just checking..

nah, I’d say he’s a bit different to the standard Pakistani cricketer, he’s always looked a bit more level-headed and composed.

But Pakistani years are like dog years, so he’s probably really 46.

Seventeen? Hasn’t he got better things to do, like loitering on street corners with his mates, smoking and leering at passers-by?
