AV: There is a famous incident of Geoff Howarth coming to you soon after the under arm incident and telling you that he had put the incident behind him and that the two teams would do well to concentrate on the games ahead... How easy or otherwise was it to put the incident behind you?

GC: Geoff Howarth and the New Zealand team were incredibly good in the aftermath of the underarm incident. They were upset and angry at the time and quite rightly so. But I think if anyone accepted it well, it was Geoff and the New Zealand team. When I went out to bat in the next game at Sydney, Geoff was fielding at mid on and I had to walk past him to get to the crease. He walked up alongide me, gave me a pat on the back and told me to put it all behind me and get on with the cricket. I think it was a magnanimous gesture and it made it a lot easier. Especially with all the media pressure and pressure from the public. The atitude of the New Zealanders was very generous.
