The union has come as something of a surprise to a certain Ayesha Siddiqui from Hyderabad, who claims the cricketer married her by telephone back in 2002. Which if nothing else, substantiates the groom's claim to be the world's leading all-rounder. But never mind the unproven complaints of spurned rivals, on the sub-continent huge significance is being attached to the wedding. Some commentators even suggest it could bring two perpetually hostile nations closer, the equivalent of the political marriages once forged between the ruling houses of Europe. If that is the case, it is an idea that could catch on, the ultimate in sporting diplomacy. It seems the pet attacked her master when he bent down to give her a good morning kiss. Which must be worrying for fans of Argentina, given their team boss's much chronicled dalliance with mind-altering substances. How out of it must he have been to have mistaken a dog – especially one which resembles a former Chancellor of the Exchequer – for his shaving mirror?
