Calf’s liver, originally served a touch rare, was shown the pan again and emerged perfect, in a sauce given bite with lime, and a rich dollop of mash topped by wild mushrooms. Briefly, another world was evoked – a dark, troubled but alluring place. Some insist that he is so profoundly Japanese a director that his work is incomprehensible to the West, while others maintain that it is his peculiar genius to have made the domestic concerns of his country’s lower middle class into dramas as universally affecting as those of Chekhov.Humanist critics have concentrated on the ‘truth’ of the performances given by his repertory company of actors, while the religiously-minded have found Zen mysticism in his work. Atherton is committed to this: ‘I should like to be able to play a front-line spinner, conditions permitting.’ Picking a spinner poses a tantalising dilemma; West Indian batsmen have a traditional weakness against the turning ball yet most Caribbean grounds are so small, with pitches that rarely turn, that any technical deficiencies are concealed behind aggressive hitting that, as often as not, sees mishits go for six.Last time around, Gooch adopted an all-seam policy that saw the spinners – Hemmings and Medlycott – virtually surplus to requirements.

He decided to bowl first after winning the toss and half-way through the Hampshire innings, it looked as though Worcestershire would not end up having to chase much more than 200.Tom Moody, who has picked up a yard of pace and was Western Australia’s leading Sheffield Shield bowler this winter, whipped through his 11 overs for only 17 runs, and despite Smith making a confident start to his innings, he then struggled to find his touch on a pitch that offered all the bowlers a modicum of encouragement.However, Smith would not have been around to lead the final charge had Curtis not missed a catch at midwicket when Smith was on 54. ‘It’s totally unfair and out of proportion,’ Javier Clemente said of the ban on his captain.Questions about Spanish potential revealed little of Vogts’ true thoughts, although he stressed his ‘great respect for them’.

In page after page exchanges of motif and texture are charged with emotional significance, while the notorious balance problems of the First Sonata’s Bachian finale are almost forgotten – the sympathetic recording certainly helps here.The big surprise was what looked at first like a clear case of CD ‘filling’ – an arrangement of the D minor Violin Sonata, Op 108.

‘I do believe it was the help and encouragement I got at Sherborne that turned me round Before that I had no incentive to change. Which is apparently what some of the Irish press corps have been up to recently and quite disgracefully so according to one senior member, who was at pains to point out that the players were only amateurs for heaven’s sake.In which case, here was a victory sent straight from heaven and one that finally put an end to the most miserable string of defeats in Irish international history. In these books Golding does what many modernist writers have done, he raises a continual doubt as to where our ordinary moment-by-moment experience differs from creating fictions, and yet, like few modernists or indeed writers of any kind, makes Pincher Martin’s consciousness reach its limit when he hears God asking him, ‘Have you had enough, Christopher?’Paradoxically, those of Golding’s novels where the reader least identifies with the protagonist’s consciousness are those told in the first person, as direct memories of the present century: Free Fall (1959) and The Pyramid (1967) among his earlier novels, The Paper Men (1984) among his later ones, in which the language is not less vividly creative, but the power of characterisation less overwhelming. As a playwright I can pretend that I can hear what is being said long after I have left the room; in real life we are locked into our own experience with only the fragility of trust for comfort.
