Tresco 22nd most hated man in Australia?!?

Those that get a free Sport magazine shoved in their hand on a Friday will have no doubt opened it yesterday expecting to read about the exciting finish to the County Chamionship season.....I certainly did. 4 teams in with a chance of winning Division 1, four in danger of going down, within a 9 team league. About as exciting as it could get really.

And yet Sport decided not to cover the cricket at all. Well not properly anyway....less than 100 words devoted to Bangladesh banning some of their players from playing in the ICL, and also covering the fact that Marcus Trescothick has come in at number 22 in Australia's Zoo Weekly poll of the Top 50 men "we like to hate". Admittedly, I was vaguely interested in why an internationally retired England cricketer can be hated so much in Australia, but it's really not of importance compared to the final week of an exciting County season....is it? (I suspect the poll was taken just after Tresco said that he'd used mints to shine balls in the 2005 Ashes).

Come on Sport - get your editorial decisions right in future....
