I can't say I had strong feelings about him one way or another as a person, but he was a good player and it is certainly a loss to the game. I guess Matt Prior will continue to wear his shades when he's keeping up close.
It's a shame for him and for SA who will be considerably weakened by his absence. Just hope he recovers ok.
Meanwhile it's been another good effort from England so far in this rain affected 5th ODI at Old Trafford. I never knew Bopara could be so useful with the ball
Just need another decent batting display now to inflict a 4-0 series defeat on the Aussies which I believe would be the first time that's happened. Strange times to be an Englad cricket fan - I feel like I'm living in a parallel universe...
