Michael Atherton, who is far more fluent as a writer than, IMO, he ever was as a batsmen, touches upon the many aspects of Whatmore's job that have been already discussed to death here. Highlights include:

a) Lancashire coaching
b) Avuncular approach (as opposed to a no non-sense tough SOB one)
c) India out-clause
d) Conflict of interest in doing Test match summary while his team plays.

Athers also casts a somehwhat more tolerant eye to BD then his "better curry in England than subcontinent" stating fellow columnist Scyld Berry.
