Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ??

[LP]

You cannot kid glove fast bowlers.  They will break without hard match fitness.

There is complete paranoia that someone will sue because of a stress related back condition.

But I was at a cricket night not so long ago with Thommo and Merv and they seemed physically about right for guys their age and weight.

Can you imagine a coach or captain telling Thommo or Merv they can't bowl any more because they had their monthly allocation of overs?

When I was young you bowled as many overs as possible, or that you were physically capable of bowling. That was how you got wickets and perfected deliveries. Of course I was 6' as a 17 year old and I'm 4'11" now, but what's that got to do with it? :o
