Yeah, I was listening to that and wouldn’t be surprised at all. Sadly he’d have a better chance of staying fit and would be financially richer for it. Think it was Aggers who offered Cummins as an optimistic example of someone who had lots of injuries early in his career, but went on to bowling in all formats at pace.
I always fancied making a catch putting the ball in my pocket look over my shoulder and feign it had gone to the boundary.
I'll swear I once saw Derek Randall take a catch on the boundary, he was lining it up conventionally then at the last moment he stepped forward and took it behind his back. Could be imagining it though...
England to build some pressure, maybe take a wicket or two and then Jimmy will be introduced and everything will go flat. You read it here first.
i found it would hurt more on the outside of a hand (knuckles! aaarrrghhhh!!), so taking it inside the hand with "soft" hands to absorb the speed worked nicely.
