Letter: A late inswinger towards racism

I HAD not heard of Simon Hughes until last Sunday, but you say he is 'the Durham fast bowler', so I assume he is a splendid fellow and 'one of us'. But he hits the nadir of ignorant, racist misinformation with his suggestion that Pakistanis have a particular quality in their sweat that allows them to polish a cricket ball and make it swing wider than can a decent, deodorised Englishman.
