Cartoons have led me to believe that people who are bad at fishing will catch a boot, rather than a fish. There are billions of fish in the sea, but relatively few boots. Any fisherman who snares a boot should be lauded for his skills, not shamed as an oaf or fool

There are great ways to win a test match. A massive chase against the odds. A heroic first inning stand when the ball is hooping. A master-class bowling effort to force an unlikely collapse. But no method of winning is better than the kind that makes Piers Morgan cry for days
