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.

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.
