'Gnome' with the wind?

Thorpe's decision to take a break from cricket comes as no surprise to his team mates, but let's hope, for England's sake, that he does come back and play the kind of cricket we all know he is capable of.

His presence in the middle-order -- he has the highest average among current England batsman -- will be sorely missed, especially with Marcus Trescothick also out due to injury.

English cricket would certainly be the poorer without his prodigious talent.
