    Plunkett joins the list

    By Will 2 years ago, at the end of July Leave a comment on this post

    So Liam Plunkett’s dead and buried. And Shahid Afridi isn’t looking too good for Pakistan either. What the hell’s going on? Is this a result of too much cricket? Is it that the games are too tightly-packed? Are the medics and physios undertrained and useless? Are today’s players too reliant on the medics unlike Fred Trueman who would just bowl and bowl and bowl? Something is going very wrong, at some level, for so many players to be falling over the whole time. And while England are leading the way, other countries are not far behind.

    I don’t understand it.

    And here comes the begginings of the,”Are players over worked” debate again…
    I don’t think it is a problem of over work. I mean theese guys a professional athletes! There bodies have been built for this. Thats why they train and keep in good shape. For one of us to go and try to play that amount of cricket we would struggle. We would be overworked because we arnt trained up to that elite level of fittness … yet…
