Sports Letters: Your reaction to the Michael Atherton affair

Sir: For Ray Illingworth the matter is over.

For the South African tourists, magnanimous in victory, the matter was never a cause for complaint. For Michael Atherton, his penance said, the matter should be over. Only the journalists, who ought to be writing about more pressing, 99-all-out sorts of things, seem to want to prolong the business.

Yours,
