EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY LAWRENCE BOOTH: Wood is responding with typical honesty to the suggestion by Broad that Anderson's impending retirement from Test cricket will leave a 'huge hole' in England's attack - an attack in which Wood's fire and brimstone now becomes even more crucial. If Broad and Anderson have felt like permanent fixtures in England's fast-bowling constellation, Wood has been its shooting star, flitting in and out, drawing gasps from those lucky enough to catch a glimpse.

The allegations are believed to be over 30 years old and refer to the umpire's playing career, when it is claimed that he had consistently called a teammate a "f*** P***." The suspected victim has not reported, despite the fact that a third party disclosed the allegations to the ECB. The ECB is reportedly taking the matter seriously, but they have already interviewed the umpire over several incidents of suspected bigotry. No other witnesses have come forward.
