Let me wish you on your birthday but remeber it is only a number. As a counsellor and former coach in cricket I wish to give you some feedback. I cant take umbrage with your bowling because you are really excellent in that department. As regards to your batting here is some invaluable tips: first study as amny of Inzamam's batting, he conserves movement tremendously, though I know he does it from inertia. But if you could adopt some of his movement economy yo will go a long way even with a heavy bat. The other matter is to let yourself into some hypnosis. Whatever you say these last few performances will have taken a toll on you psychologically. Lasty drop a few kilos and your movement will be a lot faster. Age does catch up with you whether yu like it or not. Get back to me if you wish on saulpereira@rediffmail.com
