Joel Garner was probably one of the nicest cricketers you could meet. OK, the ball was possibly 10' in the air as it left his hand, causing Clive Lloyd to note that he could bowl a Yorker and bouncer at the same time almost. But his delivery was never cynical.

When Somerset came and played Notts at Worksop, we joked that he would have to begin his run in the bus station.

Intimidating bowling is not harmful intent any more than crowding the goalkeeper from a corner.

Sean Abbott doesn't deserve such speculation for that matter.

What makes this debatable for distant onlookers is the rarity and bad luck, not any " it's a wonder it never happens all the time,"
