Behind bars

Readers of this blog will no doubt react with a "tinge" of sadness to the news that former England wunderkind Chris Lewis is to spend the next 13 years behind bars, after being found guilty for drug trafficking. It is a sad day when anyone gets locked away (i assume), but in Chris's case this seems doubly true. Not so long ago he was bowling pies on the cricket pitch and scoring very few runs, and now he's..... not doing that.

Perhaps a spell behind bars might help him with sorting out his line and length, and finding how to play the "corridor of uncertainty"? Hopefully he's got a copy of the Wisden almanak to work through.... it could be a good read. Max Walker's "Aligators and arseholes" is also a good read - i'm sure Chris would appreciate the humour. Right up his alley.

Can I suggest that this whole episode is evidence that you should never carry any of your mate's kit?

See you in 13 years Chris.
