In six deliveries Lee apparently busted his ribs and his wrist - I was praying that the bowler would bring out his "throat" ball but no such luck.SDGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-69170924102554683242014-03-01T16:57:03.230+00:002014-03-01T16:57:03.230+00:00Read a good article today about how Morgan's m...Read a good article today about how Morgan's main mistake (apart from being a prize prick, as you say) was his utter refusal to understand American culture or American attitudes. It made the point that the only Brits who really make it in the US are the ones who love the place - sneery, snotty Brits who arrive with a sense of innate superiority and expect to be applauded and admired just for being British tend to come a cropper.

I see that Morgan has promised to carry on campaigning for the reinstatement of that other prize CAUC, Kevin Pietersen.
