I don’t know if it’s the painkillers or the high levels of anti-histamine (I’ve broken out in a severe rash that I think wearing a sling 24/7 has caused) but the other night I woke up in a cold sweat cos I was bowling and nothing I did could get the new ball to swing back in.

Pic 3 shows where my supraspinatus should have been but it’s completely absent. Pic 2 is the reattached muscle covered in a collagen patch. No movement above shoulder height for 6 wks and a slow rehab to ensure it ā€˜knits’ strong. It’s amazing what they can do! Thank you Mr Corner

Just went to give a homeless guy a Greggs sausage roll (anyone who knows me will know this is particularly generous of me) and he said ā€˜no thanks mate, can I have money instead’. 😳😳😳

Shoulder rehab progressing after rotator cuff surgery. 6 weeks now and I can lose the sling at home. Only assisted movements now, moved on from passive ones. Couldn’t find a metre rule so I thought a roll of wrapping paper would do the job!!

Back in the day, this is how you found out you were picked for England. Stayed at my parents last night and mum dug out the ā€˜scrapbook’. I never actually played in this game (had to give the jumpers back) but a certain Mr Warne did who bowled ā€˜that ball’.

The weather may have put preparations back by a week or so, but the 1st XI cricket square is looking stunning now the sun is shining. Great effort by the ground staff at Woollams. The first match, against Watford GS, is just over a week away.

Congratulations on the most amazing career James Anderson. Staggering, simply staggering. Irreplaceable and a role model to a generation of people, let alone cricketers.

Saddened and at a loss for words at the tragic passing of one of England’s finest. My thoughts are with his family at this time. RIP Thorpey, you absolute legend of a man.
