But I’ll put it in now. And every link you have.

He was the only bowler we had who could bowl into the 140′s (apart from Bond).

Now when Bond inevitably gets injured again (no wait, he’s already injured), we’ll be left with a bunch of crappy, Ewen Chatfield style medium pacers.

My god we need another Hadlee “cries”.

Can you just take MY photos and claim them as you own?? Not even a link to where you got them from!

WTF!

I don’t like you anymore, and I won’t be buying OUR book (that’s cause you’re sending me a couple anyway!!).

He wasn’t ineffective, it was just that he decided to do the donkey’s work of bowling into the wind, something which no-one likes to do and something which not everyone could do…

Like Dan said, IOB’s value to the team was only known by his teammates!

BTW, is it just me or is IOB’s new blog making it really hard to post comments?

Your slobbering with deference over him is justified.
