What’s the chances of a couple of 8 year old cricket mates going on to open the batting for Australia … and very successfully at that?
Warner said that he was hoping for a Test spot bowling some leg spin and batting at 6 or 7 ?
Uzi's career seemed and dead and buried, persistence saw it resurrected. Just goes to show if you want something bad enough, you can make a name for yourself in sport and get rewarded handsomely as Warner did in the IPL.
I was listening to Stan The Man Longanides on radio yesterday, his motto or rather what he tells kids is "what are you prepared to sacrifice, what are you prepared to give up to go up". It pretty simple.
