Letter: A left-hander's place

Sir: Richard Tomlinson ('David Gower, 8,231 still not in', 3 December) has got it wrong. In my many chats with Daniel Ortega about cricket, Ortega always made it absolutely clear that Gower (if he'd been Nicaraguan) would have batted No. 4 for the Sandinistas - on a permanent basis.

Yours sincerely,
