	Mike Atherton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Atherton lost his first match in charge but England managed to beat Australia in a morale-boosting final test and, although the rubber was dead at this point, England had not beaten Australia in the previous 18 test matches.
		Atherton claimed in his autobiography that he answered 'no' when asked if he had anything in his pockets because he had thought Burge was refering to nefarious substances (resin, lipsalve etc).
		In itself Atherton was not breaking the rules - he pointed out himself that plenty of bowlers improve their grip on the ball by rubbing their hands on the pitch - but he was certainly stretching the spirit of the game.

		By 1991, however, his back injury, which was to dog him for much of his playing career, and ultimately curtail it, first came to light, and Atherton was to miss England's winter tour to New Zealand.
		However, in his fist full tour as captain, to the West Indes in the winter of 1993, England were heavily defeated, despite Atherton scoring a century in the final test.
		As captain, Atherton presided over very few major victories, yet was awarde the OBE in 1997 for services to cricket.

	Radio National - The Sports Factor - 22/11/2002
		Mike Atherton: Yes eventually, when I was about 14, he came back into the house one day and said that I’d been selected for the first team for the very first time when I was 14, and I asked him who had I replaced in the team, and it was actually him that I’d replaced.
		Mike Atherton: Well I did, and it went down in history as a kind of little folklore around Lancashire that it stood for ‘Future England Captain’, I’m afraid I’m probably not at liberty on this radio station to say what it did stand for, but it certainly wasn’t that, and it’s unrepeatable I think.
		Mike Atherton: I was signed by Lancashire in the months before I went to Cambridge university, and the coach at the time was a chap called Peter Lever, who all the listeners might remember as an England bowler in the mid’70s and actually toured Australia on that infamous Lillee and Thompson tour in ’75.

		Mike Atherton : I'm disappointed the selectors didn't pick one young player to fill the gap at number six, with the batting line up looking experienced and settled it would have been the perfect opportunity to pick an academy player.
		Mike Atherton : Not at all, no. Throughout the time I sat on selection there was never any bias towards north or south or to any county in particular.
		Mike Atherton : I think we did play against Bodyline bowling - modern day, quick line bowling often has three or four bounces and over but the batsmen these days have helmets and chest guards and so they are much more protected than batsmen in the 1930s.

	Observer \| Heroes and villains: Mike Atherton
		Yet more than most of his predecessors, Atherton had to grow into the captaincy under the full scrutiny of the press and sceptical cricketers: it was as if his whole career was a kind of Truman Show experiment.
		It was apparent that the Atherton years were to be ones of struggle and defeat.
		Atherton today is a metropolitan sophisticate, comfortable in his new role as journalist and broadcaster.

		Mike Atherton was one of very few top class players England had during the early to mid 90's, though many seem to underrate him.
		Mike Atherton provides enough information for the reader to know clearly what he thought of Ray Illingworth and the other selectors, during their time.

	Caribbean Net News: England’s former skipper Mike Atherton calls for changes in West Indies Cricket
		LONDON, England: Former England captain and opener Mike Atherton says the only way to end the ongoing dispute between the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and the West Indies Players Association (WIPA) is to change the leaders in both organizations.
		Atherton called on the WICB to follow in the footstep of the English leaders and appoint a businessman, Ken Gordon, to lead the regional body since Teddy Griffiths announced that he will not stand for a second term.
		According to the Atherton’s article, the West Indies will struggle with the crop of players they sent to Sri Lanka and Chanderpaul will find it hard to deal with the pressure on his shoulders because of decisions that he made.

		With Atherton's insight into his world of cricket so well put together it is as though he is out on the Old Trafford track scoring a memorable century.
		In fact, Atherton wielding a pen instead of the willow is a fine exception to the typical three styles of writing by sportsmen about their own lives.
		Fortunately, Atherton's effort is a break from the norm - even though he could have been forgiven for falling into the second style, with his batting a class act and so often the main-stay of the England innings.

		Mike Atherton bowed out of Test cricket not with a sumptuous century but with a niggardly 9.
		At Trent Bridge, in a session of cricket which parched the mouth, he resisted a furious onslaught of short-pitched bowling from around the wicket to take England to a series-turning victory.
		From his stubbornness to his accent, from his scruffiness to his guts, he oozed pride in his job - never made excuses for a bad shot, always knew that there was more to life than a century.

		Gutsy and stubborn, single-minded and sledger-proof, Mike Atherton was an opener in the classic English tradition, making batting look like trench warfare.
		Defence was his forte, but when his bad back wasn't playing up, he hooked freely and timed the ball sweetly through point.
		Though he has never worn his nationality on his sleeve like Alec Stewart, Mike Atherton is nothing if not English.
