Quote of the day: 13/01/2010
“Nothing Bell endured came close to matching the insane intensity of the confrontation between Steyn and Collingwood. It was a duel every bit as breathtaking to watch as Allan Donald’s against Michael Atherton at Trent Bridge, or Michael Holding’s over to Geoffrey Boycott at Bridgetown in 1981, only not nearly so mismatched. After that encounter Boycott, the most meticulous and scientific of batsmen, was left studying the video footage of the spell, rewinding it over and again to watching it through in frame by frame. He eventually concluded that he was innocent, and that Holding had simply been too fast” – The Spin’s Andy Bull celebrates the return of dangerous fast bowling.
