I particularly like the two pictures at the bottom - 2001's youthfully enthusiastic grin, replaced with a more mature, experienced, nuanced, been-here-before look.<br />http://content.cricinfo.com/england/content/player/14230.html<br /><br />Thanks for this enjoyable read, Woolley. It made me think of the infamous Gus Caeser part of 'Fever Pitch', and also of Rootohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02324999571372705555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912136666601692339.post-10775654822958933322009-04-24T08:45:00.000+01:002009-04-24T08:45:00.000+01:00This is a fantasticly positive take on seeing ones...This is a fantasticly positive take on seeing ones team sink so low as to have to call up failed players who were never good enough first time round. <br /><br />Good luck to Hockley and Kent, and well written Wooley.Marginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14054378089305915858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912136666601692339.post-63104870252165461762009-04-23T21:21:00.000+01:002009-04-23T21:21:00.000+01:00That was me, sorry.That was me, sorry.miminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912136666601692339.post-90516678168671118772009-04-23T21:20:00.000+01:002009-04-23T21:20:00.000+01:00What an enjoyable piece - thanks Wooley.
