Hi L-and-L - sorry I looked but couldn’t locate your name on the CW site
it’s always a good feeling to meet one’s seniors on CW. Doesn’t just make one feel good about one’s “youth” but also because you find a similarity of view that is not always the case with the ‘fitter’ lot
I hope I am not heading for anything beyond another three months on a diet of pain/killers . . . But then who knows .

Ha ha - In my present state I couldn’t even hold the door open for the team . . . As if I could do much more if fitter and younger
By the way, Root gets simply too much of the June’s for England’s performance. No captain in England (or elsewhere on the planet) could make up for the disaster that is the English batting unit (Root the only exception)
The bowling is decent enough although it may become difficult for them to hold up their end with the ball.
I always worried about what the short and shorter forms of the game have done to bring down the batting skills around the world while making life for the bowlers a miserable existence.
But then I look at the Indian batting and see how they are still holding up the flag for batsmanship. I thought they would collapse under the weight of what IPL would do to their skills.
I also hoped that batting in the other countries, specifically England, would not decline as much thanks to the ‘firmness’ of their first class game and the weight of their being sticklers for the conventional technical game at the crease.
I was soooo wrong.

Apologies. I have no clue what that June’s was doing there.

Thanks for the warmth. Feels great. Don’t know how long I will stay but it does feel awesome to be part of this very special place in the cricketing space on the planet.

Hi Burgey mate.
What a delight to even read and then type out your pseudonym. Brings back so many wonderful memories.
Thanks for the good wishes - I intend to be back as fit as I can be. ?

Hi. Another friendly name and presence from the past.

I'm not sure if there are any guys the selectors will be desperate to get a look at before the tours except for maybe Swepson. The back-up seamers are now obvious. The back-up bats will be depend on the Shield, with Renshaw getting a bit of credit for his reasonable performances in India as a 20 year old.

Thanks for the “get well” greetings Stephen. I intend to do just that . . . Hopefully 
As for “offering insights” those are tricky words. Offering words is easy but whether they are seen as insight or just babble depends on the audience.
The internet chat groups are a painfully great place to learn that lesson. ?

Sorry to hear that. What stops you from getting the second one replaced - just wondering. Age ? Bones do become brittle don’t they and screwing the metal parts in can be dicey I guess ?

Good to see you Fusion, has James sacked you yet?Good to see you back SJS! Seeing you post, and specially about footwork, brought back a lot of old memories from when I was more actively posting at CW. Hope you stick around and get to enjoy some great cricket in the coming days and months.

Happy New Year GIMH! And no, the job is mine's until I die, or you, whichever comes first. James and I are committed to your anguish on this.
