Chris Lewis: A waste of talent

He could have been viewed as a role model for the Black community in England, but former England allrounder Chris Lewis now faces 13 years in prison. Patrick Kidd writes in the Times about the man with a history of outrageous behaviour, and how Lewis wasted his abundant talent.

James Meikle has similar views on Lewis in the Guardian, writing that "descriptions such as promising and multi-talented soon turned to mercurial and enigmatic, and long before the end of his international career, fragile and lacking in confidence".
