"England knew nothing about Ashton Agar before this Test and, it seems, neither did Australia
If they had they would not have batted him at number 11! This is a 19-year-old on debut who has hit three half-centuries in his 10 first-class matches and his technique was so good that Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton, in theiru00a0Sky TV analysis, couldn’t find anything wrong with it.”

“Each and every player who plays for their country, their club side, for their franchise or their county has the opportunity to wait for the decision the umpire makes and you respect the umpire’s decision. We play hard, we play fair and each individual has the responsibility and makes the judgement if he will wait for the umpire’s decision.”
