Cricket's foul decline

From Mr David Kershaw Sir: As a member of Michael Henderson's `proletarian subculture' (`Foull', 14 August), I clearly have a lot to learn from his own beloved game: the tolerance and sensitivity of the Western Terrace at Headingley; the enforced closure of the Lord's Tavern in the afternoons; the charisma of Wisden-carrying anoraks; the pride induced by the overseas behaviour of the 'barmy army'; the aggres- sive 'sledging' of batsmen; the intimidation of umpires; the betting by players on results; and, of course, the embittered comments of a journalist covering a minority sport.
