Back to the front


The story of the day was the story of two men -- and ah, what joy to use the word 'man' to a member of this team, and be able to mean it! In a little touch of irony, one of them happens to be the long-time number three who, under the weight of repeated failures, was pushed as low as down the order as it was possible to push him. And the other was the man who, having spent most of his career yo-yoing into and out of the side, had unceremoniously shoved his way into that slot.
