You really shouldn't be allowed to get paid for writing that. Not that its necessarily incorrect, but just useless.
Crap piece from an otherwise good cricket writer.
who share my opinion! Thought I was likely to be in a minority of one in disliking it.Don't know that I'd describe it as crap, but it's far from enlightening or interesting, from where I'm standing. He really didn't have to respond to Graveney's demand, I think most people would have regarded it as mind-numbingly idiotic anyway. The main problem is that Barnes comes from a starting point of having Fletcher over a barrell with his pants down already, and there's really nowhere to go but repeat things that have honestly been repeated ad nauseum already. Comes off as bitchy and defensive when there's no real reason to be, IMO. Anyway, in general, I think Simon Barnes material is generally pretty decent.
