They used to do essentially the most tough job in Check cricket – play out the brand new ball in testing circumstances, as we have a tendency to wish to do every time we go overseas – so it’s par for the course to have a number of eccentricities emerge from that sort of partnership.”

However sadly or fortuitously, the alternatives are much less, and I’ve to seek for my alternatives outdoors.”
