Michael Atherton’s dismissal of Graham Gooch and Michael Vaughan bowling Sachin Tendulkar show the finality of cricket
Attending sporting events is a sensory experience. The smell of burgers, beer and skunk can mean only football; the sight of a nun fighting a giraffe is darts in excelsis; and at Wimbledon, unbearable conversation is so intense you can taste it.
Cricket is no different. Skip out for a pint of fizz and the sound of the crowd tells you exactly what you’re missing – mainly very little, but occasionally, rippling applause for a four, throaty hollering for a wicket, cheers and laughter for tailend runs. These days we probably have to call it chaughter.
