   Dear Geoff and all his loyal fans,

   well what a brilliant 15 minutes that was! really, I know Geoff should know what he’s talking about by now, but that was just brilliant.
   Honest, interesting, entertaining; “bowl them out with an orange”…”bowl those overs on one leg”… and “there just knackered”…
   So much common sense, especially with the eight year old boy just to enjoy himself.
   I loved the bit about “being in the zone,” what a great way to put it…”you hear everything and everyone around you, but you just don’t take any notice. And the point about being so much set during an innings.. “you may well have three shots for every ball.”
   I really enjoyed that Geoff, thank you.
   All the best everyone,
   DEAN MEASOR.

   I agree that Flintoff and Brett Lee are just being practical, and also for that matter Shane Bond.

   The bigger issue for me though, is that fast bowlers are becoming extinct at the moment. Whether that be because of the amount of cricket being played, or the increasing number of ‘Chief Executive’ wickets prepared I don’t know.

   But the facts are that bowlers seem to be ending up at the knackers yard far sooner in their careers than they used too.

   All of above Dean, but also the wear and tear and pressures that a fast bowlers body goes through every time he smashes into that bowling crease will always play a big part too. Ankles, knees, hip, lower back, shoulders, elbows, the amount of stress fractures, ankle, lower back and rotator cuff injuries are frighterning. But I do agree with your comments Dean, but fast bowlers, (quality fast bowlers) don’t come along all that often, you can’t teach express fast bowling, it’s just a special gift. Much like our geoffrey Boycott.
   best regards, DEAN MEASOR
