He has the gift of rubbing people up the wrong way, probably because he speaks his mind. Think he has a long standing feud with Botham. This interview with Andrew Denton forced me to see him a new light (mentions that incident you are talking about :-)) though I still find it hard to feel warm and fuzzy about him.<BR/>http://www.abc.net.au/tv/enoughrope/transcripts/s1751805.htm<BR/><BR/>I have also revised my opnion...about Mr. ugly/Aggro/Macho....Dennis Lilee.<BR/>http://www.abc.net.au/tv/enoughrope/transcripts/s842705.htm<BR/><BR/>Isn't the world an amazing place? When you think you have things all figured out about someone...they turn around and do something that makes you think twice about judging them. Damned confusing too!<BR/><BR/>I have to admit, I like Michael Holding's commentary, he has a way of putting things and speaks his mind! Bit more witty than Ian Chappel. Especially his wry comments about the West Indies' abysmal performance. He makes me laugh. He was a very gifted bowler in his time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
