Loading ...Fascinating piece by Athers. I was intrigued to learn that only Strauss writes his own. I had suspected that Giles wrote his, and that Trescothick’s rather good pieces for the Telegraph last year were his own, but what do I know. As for Vaughan, he’s looking smarter and smarter as the months go by.
Ghosts in the Machine

The ghost-written sports column is as old as sports columns. It is where the sportsman talks to a reporter, who converts the players views into a column that is fit for printing. Or so goes the theory.
Michael Atherton lifts the lid on the ghost-writing process. It is quite an eye-opener to see how the process works. He comes out against the practice, and I have to say that I agree with him.
Just by the by, is it not odd that the cricketers who are often the dullest to watch are often the most interesting sort of people off the field, and vice-versa?
