On the Front Foot: Shah's abrupt dismissal leaves Middlesex's middle in a muddle - 9/5/2010 02:28

Almost disappearing under the radar last week – a splendid time to bury bad news – was Middlesex's decision to sack Owais Shah. The story was revived only by the club's crass handling of the affair. It was leaked under embargo to a newspaper which then broke the embargo, both events taking place before Shah himself had been informed. A grovelling apology was issued later on behalf of the club by the PR chap who leaked the information, but it was inexcusably shabby treatment of a batsman who has been with the club for 16 years. The decision to release him seems pretty odd, too. Less than a year ago Shah played one of the great one-day innings for England in Centurion, 98 from 89 balls, which effectively launched their one-day revival. At Middlesex he has had a lean season by his standards, although he is their leading run-scorer in both forms of limited-overs cricket. Last year he was top of their first-class averages.

Diaghilev: A Life, By Sjeng Scheijen - 9/5/2010 06:10

It is too fitting that a larger-than-life character such as the Russian impresario Sergey Diaghilev should have been born with so large a head that it killed his mother when she gave birth to him. Too fitting, because it is not true: as Sjeng Scheijen reveals in this myth-busting biography, Diaghilev's mother died of puerperal fever three months after her son's birth. Had she lived, she might not have recognised the sensitive boy who grew up to found the Ballets Russes and hobnob with Picasso, Coco Chanel, Stravinsky and Prokofiev. >>>
