The Guardian's cricket correspondent, Mike Selvey, is a man who never leaves home without a guitar on his back. And as such he is well placed to pass judgment on England's obsession with Johnny Cash's sixties hit, Ring of Fire. Suffice to say, he's not best impressed with their taste in music.
Well we all know it's really a lads' lavatorial joke to do with the repercussions of touring that part of the world and there, under the shamiana behind the dressing rooms at Wankhede Stadium, it should have been laid to rest. But he has created a monster has Fred. Now it's the Ring of Fire that is implanted indelibly and, one week on, it burns, burns, burns in my brain. I may need counselling and I bet I'm not the only one.
