Steve Harmison doing his back flying from one Bangladesh airport to another (airline meals were heavy), Fred Titmus losing his toes water-skiing, the list is endless.

We're still not as good at getting injured as the Kiwis, though.

Cheers,

Sounds very similar to the NZ injury nightmare in S.A 3 or 4 years ago when players were dropping out of the squad due to injuries playing frisbee, soccer etc.

I think NZ might be getting out of their injury crisis (touch wood) basically because all the players who've had the injury problems have retired..apart from Cairns.

That crisis was at its worst in Pakistan, where even the fringe players were getting injured!

There was a news post on the BBC website that summed it all up to be honest.

The irony really is that it's blazing hot in Trinidad now. It's been so since Monday. It seems the rain is just following the cricket. The other bit of irony is that Guyana may be the only match that is not rained out and Guyana is traditionally the rainiest of venues. In fact, a Test against Bangladesh was rescheduled for Jamaica instead of Guyana for this reason.

This is getting weird.

It's also blazing sunshine in Yorkshire today and has been raining extremely heavily for 5 days solid.

Our weather systems appear to be copying each other. :cool2:
