When ah wurr a lad, we wuz told the reezon tha's gorra lumpa wud in t'and
is to stop t'bowler pinnin thee aginst yonder saight screen.

Basically, Mike is a damn good batsman who doesn't let himself get too 
worked up about the WI attack.  Last I heard he will be playing the 3rd/4th
test.
I would point out that the first player in this match to retire hurt was
G.Greenidge - pulled a bouncer from I.T.Botham into himself - sound familiar
??.

It might also be of note that when WI were in India/Pakistan recently they
were heard to complain about the wickets and some of the bouncers they
received.  (I believe Imrahn and Kapil are being offered sainthood for this)
