Former England cricket captain Michael Atherton has no sense of smell and regularly torments fellow commentators by breaking wind. Atherton, 57, has ‘dodgy guts’ and stinks out the Sky commentary box with ‘trumps’ - but can’t smell a thing, ex-player Stuart Broad has revealed. Broad revealed the ex-batter’s bad habit on his podcast For The Love Of Cricket with fellow former star Jos Butler. Butler asked ‘Broady’ who he’d rather go on a camping trip with out of ex-players Nasser Hussain and Atherton. Broad replied: “Ath, I don’t know how many people know this, but he’s got no sense of smell. “When he trumps - he’s not offended, but everyone else is. “In the comms box, he just fires away. “Everyone’s on the floor, choking, and he just carries on. “So I think that’s quite difficult to cope with. “And I imagine in a tent, that would be difficult.” Butler replied: “So you’re taking Nasser camping just because of Atherton’s dodgy guts. “Yeah. Fair enough. Yeah, can’t argue with that. “Brilliant. You’ve done him now a treat. “But I think you’ve just outed him terribly there. But yeah, there you go.”
