Interesting article...
No one has ever accused English cricketers of being good sportsmen, and this article doesn't change that. No one would call the English team sporting, and their dismissal of Inzamam over this past test, and everyone's refusal to apologize for this overt display of poor and miserable sportsmanship is a testament of the inability of the English team to be honest with itself, and fair with its competitors.

I can't agree. Inzamam-ul-Haq was given out by a poor umpiring decision, not by English dishonesty. I doubt the English players would have realised the unfairness of the decision until they saw the same replay that the (Pakistani) third umpire saw. I do not know of any instance in Test cricket where a captain has withdrawn an appeal.
Inzamam showed himself to a great ambassador for the game by the way he handled questions about his dismissal, but the England team have nothing to apologise for.
