Funnily enough I've always thought that mate and was going through my head today. I know there's exceptions to the rule but he hardly has an athletic and agile physique. Not going to be light on your feet carrying all that lard around. Actually annoys me. If a professional sportsman can't be arsed getting in shape what hope do us mere mortals have?

I can’t understand professional sportsmen/women being overweight. There's no excuse for it, really. That Patel fella who's playing for Notts is a big old unit. Same for some of the umpires in the women's game. It doesn't reflect well on the individuals.

Stored energy that mate. Haha.

Just because you're quick doesn't mean you're agile though. I've got a muscley, stocky frame and would beat 95 percent of my class at the bleep test. Have me running around cones in a slalom and I'm mediocre. Bairstow's just fat- might be blessed cardiowise but he's out of shape. Cardio's wasted on him anyway being a WK and he's not in long enough for his speed between the wickets to count when he's batting. Haha.
