Does ruckus shows Read has Test spirit?

In his weekly column in the Sunday Telegraph, Steve James argues that Chris Read's much-publicised spat with Mushtaq Ahmed shows he has the right attitude for Test cricket and that it won't have done his chances of an England recall any harm. Otherwise might argue that all it shows is that he's a stroppy bugger!
"Of course, last week Read allowed his aggression to manifest itself in the wrong manner and I am not condoning his behaviour, but I still cannot deny that my first reaction upon hearing of the ruckus was 'good on him'."
