Boycs' home truths help Hoggard
A few years ago, Matthew Hoggard, then the world's worst Test batsman, found himself in a bizarre situation, padded up in Geoff Boycott's living room, being taught how to play the forward defensive shot.
Boycott, a fellow Yorkshireman and former England opening batsman with an exemplary technique, had become so exasperated at watching Hoggard's cack-handed attempts at batting that he invited him over to provide him some basic building blocks.
"If I was on 99 and at the other end and you got out, I'd hit you with my bat," Boycott had told his pupil.
