Atherton's interesting finish to his article.

........ Australian wicketkeepers, like Ian Healy, routinely question the footwork of their English counterparts. Australians like to skip across and take the ball on the inside of their waists rather than in front of their bodies. Two things make this more difficult in England: the lack of bounce and the movement of the ball in the air after pitching. That movement has been in evidence throughout the summer, making it nightmarishly difficult at times. So far in this match there have been 49 byes, 33 for Prior in 170 overs and (at the time of writing) 16 for M S Dhoni in 48 overs. Occasionally Dhoni has made Prior look velvet-gloved in comparison. For Prior, and for Moores, there is work to do, but it is far too soon to rush to judgment. PS©¼/I] I don't think I've ever received more abuse than after last week's article on Sri Sreesanth's beamer. Writing about Indian cricket or Indian cricketers ought to come with a health warning, such illogical passion does the topic arouse. But that should never prevent us from tackling the issues that matter, and the beamer, whether bowled accidentally or deliberately, whether bowled by Brett Lee or Sri Sreesanth, or by a wheelchair-bound black lesbian, should be penalised with a ban. The colour or character of the bowler is irrelevant, it is the damage it could inflict which matters.

Dude when me and my mate told him about how we loved the nel incident/symonds, he was finding it hard not to laugh and smile while he signed. Guy plays with passion on the pitch, smiles off the pitch. Legend :hatsoff:
