England's antics in the second Test at Trent Bridge continue to cause ripples in the media, not least in The Daily Telegraph, where Michael Henderson takes particular exception to the lippiness of Matt Prior and Alastair Cook, who have both spoken out about the pressures of Test cricket.
As most people know, there is pressure and pressure. To the best of our knowledge neither Prior nor Cook has saved somebody from a burning house, or a sinking boat, faced a gunman, delivered a baby, or talked a troubled soul out of taking their life. That is the pressure that thousands of our fellow citizens are paid to deal with on a daily basis, and not one of them is paid nearly so well as they.
