Piers Morton has just announced that he will be jumping off a bridge tomorrow proving once and for all he isn't as pea hearted as the English tour party.

nah jesus good on him. People go through various stages in their lives when they're not happy with themselves, their actions or some other variable. Hope the guy pulls things together.

Apparently the whole team were there but Prior was the only one to do anything:

Cook: couldn't work out a tactic or plan to help
Carberry: made a start but couldn't quite get there to help
Root: just stood there with a stupid smile
KP: too self absorbed to notice something was wrong
Bell: Dunno, meh
Stokes: Tried to help but kept knocking things with his hands
Broad: too scared
Swann: got scared and ran away
Anderson: arm was broken trying to help
Panesar: wanted to help but Cook wouldn't let him

Panesar: Kept asking the guy to come to the hotel.

Really top stuff from Prior. Anyone who's been in his situation before will know it's not easy to think of appropriate things to say at such a time. It's good that the rest of them didn't get involved as well.

If I read correctly it was just Prior and the security officer who got involved right? That's good, you get a whole bunch of people crowding around and that's asking for trouble, at least afaik.

Panesar: climbed up to the top of the bridge and pissed on him.

This is fantastic. Really can't speak highly enough of his actions here in such unexpected and extreme circumstances.
