Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kei te hiahia a Alec Stewart ki te whakarongo atu ki te tūranga hou o te kaiwhakahaere kirikiti o Ingarangi. I kii te kaiwhakahaere o Surrey mo te kirikiti kei te arotahi ia ki tana mahi i te Oval a kaore ano ia kia korero ki tetahi i te Poari Kirikiti o Ingarangi me Wales mo te tuunga, ka whakauruhia i muri i te wehenga o Paul Downton hei kaiwhakahaere whakahaere. Ko nga rangatira o mua o Ingarangi a Stewart a Andrew Strauss me Michael Vaughan kua honoa ki te mahi. I whakaae a Alec Stewart kaore he whakapā atu ki te ECB mo te tūranga o te kaiwhakahaere kirikiti o Ingarangi.

Ko Stewart, i takaro i te 133 Whakamatau me te 170 ODI mo Ingarangi, kei roto i te anga hei whakakapi i a Paul Downton kua oti te patu. 'Ko te mea anake i mea ai ahau kua mahia e au nga mea katoa i tonoa mai ki ahau hei kaitakaro o Ingarangi a ki te whakaaro a Ingarangi ko au te momo tangata tika mo taua mahi, ahakoa he aha te mahi, na ka maamaa koe ki te kore e titiro ki a ia. 'Kei raro ahau i te kirimana i konei. (Ko te) ECB me tono whakaaetanga ki te kōrero ki ahau mā Surrey. 'He mahi nui tēnei e tino pai ana ahau ki konei. Ki taku whakaaro ka haere tonu tātou ki ngā wāhi maha i roto i ngā tau e whai ake nei. Koina taku arotahi atu. Ko Michael Vaughan hoki tētahi o ngā kaitono matua ki te tango i te tūranga hou i hangaia ki Ingarangi. 'E kore e taea e au te whakahawea ki te nui o tēnei mahi. Engari e hiahia ana koe ki te mōhio tonu ki ētahi atu mea e tupu ana.' I te pātai mēnā kua whai kōrero ā-tuhi, ā-wāhi rānei ia ki te taumata o te ECB, ka tāpiri atu a Stewart: "Kahore...
E hiahia ana a Alec Stewart ki te whakarongo atu mō te tūru o te kapa Ingarangi. Ko te kaitiaki poitūkohu o Ingarangi o mua te kaiwhakahaere o te kirikiti i Surrey i tēnei wā. E kī ana a Stewart kāore a ia i kōrero ki te ECB mō te tūranga. I whakakorehia a Paul Downton hei kaiwhakahaere whakahaere mo te kapa Ingarangi.
