Recognition

As an amateur cricketer - and a pretty poor one at that - it's always nice to come across aspects of the professional game which make you feel as though, in some senses, the players plying their trade in the West Indies over the next month are just like you.

This being the case, I had a particularly wry laugh at a quote from Shane Bond in the latest issue of The Wisden Cricketer.

When asked if New Zealand had a team song, Bond replied that they didn't.

'We just have a couple of drinks, sit around and talk crap'.
