I'm usually quite a mild mannered sort of bloke, but I would find it very hard not to punch Garetn Batty repeatedly in the face if I ever met him

I think we can agree on that, Nico.... and even you must grudgingly admit that Trego contributed...

Did I miss something regarding Batty - wasn't aware he provoked such feelings?

Here are the highlights (ECB quote):
"Gareth Batty was not merely a player but was the Surrey captain. His conduct as such was appalling.

"Not only was he involved in deliberately and inappropriately physically confronting a batsman he had just dismissed, he subsequently engaged in a foul-mouthed tirade at the batsman.

Gareth Batty is just one of those chippy spinners who's talent could never back up his mouth. I think some in the media describe him as an "abrasive character" which is code for annoying little shit. Factor in he is captain of Surrey and you're getting close to punching him.

Ah right - understand now, had either never come across or had forgotten the Trego incident. Hopefully he's grown up a bit since...
