I think it's a great move by the Club to feature some of the unsung heroes from time to time:

Interesting thought that people are not as naturally fit now as they used to be. Perhaps that plays a part in our seam bowlers breaking. The Andersons, Woakes and OHDs of this world are from another time.

It was the late Alec Bedser who used to complain that, in his day, kids had to walk 27 miles (well, maybe not quite) to school and back and that toughened them up to bowl 75 overs a day (well, maybe not quite) like he did.
