NB. Christopher Martin-Jenkins is the correspondent for The Times, Michael
Henderson for The Daily Telegraph.

From The Independent

"..This year, the two men found themselves coupled again when Martin-Jenkins
was voted top of the Wisden readers' cricket writer of the year poll,
beating Henderson into second place by two to one. Martin-Jenkins increased
his lead despite a preponderance of Telegraph readers voting; unsually, some
votes read simply "Anyone but Henderson", or: "Not that bloke Henderson."

From an article about the savaging of EW Swanton's biography by Michael
Henderson.

Cheers, ymt.

This is ambiguous. Did you mean that a biography of Swanton written by
Henderson was savaged by someone, or that a biography of Swanton written
by someone was savaged by Henderson? I'd guess it was the second, but
can't be sure.

The latter. Henderson disliked EWS apparently.

IIRC, the Telegraph hired Henderson a few months before Swanton died.
The sports editor of the Telegraph must have been a brave man (assuming
that EWS would have disliked Henderson in return).
