Given it was huge on me in 2001, it still fits me quite nicely.

Manchester were appalling with the bat. Did have at least some hopes that we'd see a record worst ever innings total, at least that would be memorable.

(Lots of space in the stands though, think the last few times we've been they have been pretty much full)

I know it always looks bad being bowled leaving, but still that's not even hit the top of off stump, nor just clipped it - that's a ball you should be playing at if you know where your off stump is.
