When he walked into bat yesterday morning the insults started flying. Perhaps in real life he is annoying. But on the face of it, the Windies constant chatter about chubby, and the lip-curling aggession their bowlers showed him, smacked of bullying the fat kid at school.
Ok, I admit it, in previous tests, I was saying why is such a porker playing for England, and laughing at his sweaty Mrs Doubtfire visage. I demeanded his double hundred at Lords, writing it off as chancy innings on a very easy pitch. And like the commentators, also lookists who prefer the sleek figure of Michael Vaughan making thirty to a match winning innings by a fatso, I doubted his ability at test match level.
Robert Key, fuck off you fat bastard as he must have heard so many times before, didn't fuck off, and he, with his face which looks like the skin has been lined internally with the rubber from an old wetsuit, and his currant bunnish eyes which unblinking stared back at the 90mph bullies from the Islands, is a hero.
