Ashley Giles, Gentleman

Lovely quote from Ashley Giles in his Guardian piece. Talking about the closing stages of the Trent Bridge match:

…so Hoggy came out to face Lee for the first ball of the next over.

“Come on, let’s you and me get it done,” he said, with a bit of a smile.

“It’s reversing at about 95mph,” I told him. I thought it was best that he knew.

Such a gentleman. “It’s reversing at 95mph”. What a marvellous thing to hear when you reach the crease, to give you confidence.
