When I had boarded the helicopter to come back to the Korengal, I armed myself with the heroic tales of pregnant women I'd known. There was my friend Ayub's mother, who was harvesting tobacco when she delivered the last of her eight children in Halabja. And the Bosnian woman who was nine months pregnant when the militias attacked her town. As she fled through the mountains, mortars exploding around her, she went into labour. A villager scooped her up in a wheelbarrow, and there she gave birth to her son. Maybe stories are nourishment. Because as bad as it got â?? like at the end of an 18-hour patrol, when I ended up on the medics' trolley suffering from dehydration, and felt my body sucking hungrily on the juices of two IV drips â?? I compared my situation with the wheelbarrow or the Afghan women, and I couldn't really complain.
Gates has a tendency to talk about the horrors and injustices of the developing world just as he talks about the computer business: in blunt, jerky sentences, his nasal voice flat or leaping, his manner without much natural warmth or charm. He sounds like a clever man in a hurry thinking out loud â?? which is exactly what he is. Starting in the late 90s, he began to hungrily chew through the expert literature on global disease and nutrition and poverty. "He is a giant sponge," says an epidemiologist who specialises in HIV. "I had dinner with him a couple of weeks ago. The man is extraordinary. I've been in the field 15 years, and his grasp of the technical details is just astounding. His weird brain allows him to ask questions."
The Ashes are a distinctly public party these days and it is perhaps the salesmen-presenters of Sky Sports who have embraced most hungrily Pointing's remarks. With this in mind it is probably best to cap this Ashes amnesty by suggesting a new rule: from now on the only people allowed to talk about the Ashes â?? having embraced all necessary disclaimers â?? are Ricky Ponting saying something silly and that little voice that keeps popping up inside your head with all its tantalising (you can't ignore Monty's record), dangerous (Tremlett's the man in form) and wickedly distracting Ashes talk.
