Happily, Gatting's career is not over.  He requires an operation to
fix his nose, but his skull was not fractured, despite reports that
Marshall returned to the crease picking bone out of the ball.

Gatting also said that it was his own fault, a fact widely ignored
by the media, especially in Britain.  Of course, the British cricket
media really would like to claim that England loses to the West Indies
because they're a bunch of cheating darkies (:-) but in fact the West
Indies have a few competent cricketers.
The legality of bouncers was discussed at some length a few years
ago when Snow upset everyone with his bowling of bouncers, hence the
one per over rule.  Marshall is fast and good, my impression was that
Snow was deliberately intimidating.
