Outdoor nets tomorrow
Outdoor nets tomorrow
I知 officially out for the season.
Weirdly I知 not even upset about it. Maybe my time is done.
Is that still the injury from last year?
At least you have all summer to get on the beers and do some scoring or umpiring, you can be the next Jimmy.
Yeah the first operation didn稚 really do much. Need a second, bigger, one if I知 ever going to play again.
I think I値l commit myself to putting money behind the bar rather than umpiring.
What are they saying you need doing?
I got clearance to start playing football again last week, just shy of 10 months from the op.
Cartilage replacement. Basically I have none on the outer half of my knee.
It's got a good success rate but it's not a sure thing and recovery is 6-9 months. I've got an appointment next month to get the ball rolling on it.
Jesus. You doing it?
Not 100% sure yet but leaning more towards yes.
Wheelchair cricket is totally a thing. They get pads and helmets.
We did outdoor nets last night. Makes the heart sing. Especially as I've been retired for years so my main role is to criticise others.
What do they replace it with? Do they take it from another part of the body?Originally Posted by Ben
They take it from another part (less load bearing area) of the same knee as far as I知 aware.
Harry Brook's career in ruins.
Insane opening game for us – would have been the absolute perfect start but we came up one wicket short on a completely dead pitch. Leachy bowling a casual 65 overs.

That pitch is ridiculous for early April. There's two rounds each in June and July this year, what's it going to be like then?
Surely some 14 year old smashing a 38 ball century in the IPL somewhat calls into question the legitimacy of the format?
Sorry, 35 ball.
I wrote it off as fake cricket years ago. I barely even bother with the World Cup.
What a legend.

I've found it so hard to watch any kind of pro cricket this winter, partly because the offerings have been shite but also because the whole atmosphere around it is more venal and dominated by Indian bollocks every year.
I was therefore a bit worried about the start of the spring and the season here - had I lost the bug? Been out there for three games and the answer is firmly no I haven't, absolutely loving it. Club cricket is simply a better sport than pro cricket now, I think - if anything, the stakes are higher for clubbies because the games all really mean something and it isn't just a payday.
This might be true of all sport very soon, I think, despite the apparent indestructability of attendances at men's first team Saturday pro football.
On the point of football, all the local level 7-10 teams around here are absolutely thriving attendance wise.
