I agree Marc, fitness and stamina is a question. He has only bowled more than 20 overs in a match once this season, in the recent game v Gloucs. The 100 certainly doesn't test stamina.

It's not so much form with pavement it's fitness. So many young hopefuls seem to get injured. It didn't used to be like that, so what is it about training methods that's causing this casualty rate? I suspect too much gym work, as bulky muscles don't help flexibility.
