Morning all , dark but getting lighter in a few ways one could say. Off to work on this bank holiday but who cares?
Here’s a great song for your day.

Mark Wood telling a story how he missed a few games for an #IPL team after picking up an illness. Despite having not eaten or drunk anything for days and being unable to get out of bed, the owner called him enquiring if he was fit to play and sent another doctor to try and get him better.
The next days despite Wood saying he felt no better, the owner said ‘I will send a private plane. You’ll get on the plane, play the game, and I’ll send the plane straight back so you can return to your bedside.’
Trying to force a player, who was clearly unwell and not in any fit state, to play a game of cricket is just awful. I think we can all guess which of the two IPL teams he played for this was 👀👀
And people wonder why Cricket Australia made Cummins and Connolly fly back home to get scans to demonstrate fitness rather than trusting teams. x.com/ImRo45_Club/st…
