  I was going to include the cricketers Howard but they have as you say slipped off the top of the pile. Still, a far better bunch who, to boot, have the courage to play what is a dangerous game in sometimes dangerous parts of the world.
  
  Some of the England footballers have something to commend them - Hart's ability and confidence, the enduring commitment of Lampard and Gerrard, the tenacity of Terry (though as a person he leaves much to be desired). You could similar things about Ashley Cole and Rooney.
  
  But as a whole, they come up well short, sometimes both in ability and character.
  
  Luckily this summer has provided plenty of other sports that we do excel at.
