Yeah, it's the thing to do. But it makes it far from alright! It's a potentially terrible delivery and that's why I'm so impressed at Trescothick's reaction, alot of guys would have gone mad. Just imagine Simon Jones accidentally beaming Hayden after their previous confrontation. Hell would break loose!

If you look at the replay, he doesn't neccessarily look too disgusted with himself when he's getting a talking too off Sheppard, he does "look" (and I repeat only look, I ain't accusing him of a thing) like he doesn't care. But some people's faces are unreadable!

Init. He's more interested in getting back to his run up.

It gets worse everytime I see it. It's made worse by the fact it was swinging into him also. He must have thought he may not get away from it. Poor guy couldn't hit the deck fast enough!

Well he has done it several times now, and one of these days he will seriously injure someone. Whether intentional or not, he has to do something about them.

A fast bowlers action is very technichal and one little thing going wrong can send the ball flying in a completely different direction to what the bowler intended. I thought Lee did look sincerely sorry and thought Trescothick handle it extremely well (accepted the apology and got on wit it.)
Not as bad as Waqar to Andrew Symonds first round in the last world cup Aust v Pak, twice in row on that occasion, Symonds blew-up & Waqar was taken from the attack.

Once again I must credit Trescothick's reaction, he simply got up and dusted himself down and carried on, seemingly accepting the apology. It was blatently an accident.

Indeed. Full credit.

It wouldn't surprise me if the Barmy Army start the "No Ball" shouts as he bowls again during the Test Series.
