The Champions Trophy has already witnessed several sporting gestures from fielding, among them Andrew Strauss recalling Angelo Mathews when the Sri Lankan was run out after colliding with the bowler while trying to complete a run. Mike Selvey writes in the Guardian that Strauss was over-generous in giving Mathews a reprieve. Selvey says the huge controversy caused by a similar incident when Collingwood was captain last year could have influenced Strauss's decision.
