Wood out for the season!

Heard this at the Riverside on Wednesday. But apparently not only has his side gone but he has had a knee operation as well.

Its true, unfortunately.

You have to think his career will be over soon.

Knee was routine clearout, side injury was worse than expected clearly but he won a world cup winners medal and literally injured himself to help us win

Feel so sorry for the lad. You wonder how long he's going to keep going with all these injuries.

I blame the modern obsession with gym work, players developing muscles in the wrong places.

The knee isn’t a muscle marra

Gutted for him.

True but if you become muscle-bound it restricts movement and puts extra strain on joints. History suggests that Woody's fitness programme and injury diagnosis have been madly managed.
Autocorrect changed badly into madly but madly is probably more apt

This is obviously what I meant. I think it was George Dobell or Jason Gillespie who called this a year or two back.

Fred Trueman played 67 tests and 600 First Class matches, bowling 90 mph flat out, without picking up serious injuries. The only training he did (aside from supping pints) was bowling.

He's a very good bowler but unfortunately, he's not an athlete which for most top level cricketers nowadays, you need to be. Massive shame because he would have been in for at least 2 test this summer. Hope we can eek a couple more years out of him yet though.

You're spot on about the bowling however one of the many myths about Fiery Fred was that he was a big drinker...he never even touched the ever present pint on the bar when he hosted The Indoor League.

Ah'll si'thee!!
