Last year he came back 'match fit' but took a number of weeks to hit 4th gear. I'm confident that 4th gear this year is not far away....but will it be too late, is the question.
He just had a bad one...he got plenty of the ball he just used it poorly and wasn't able to release as well as he normally does and that probably says more about the Brisbane pressure than a lack of match fitness. They played him well.
