  • You can be strong enough to play, but if you are not super-fit you will be prone to injuries.
  • Despite an operation for a chipped bone in his back, Alex was still able to bat well but it was limiting.
  • The Australians are genuinely nuts about cricket. Regardless of what level you play at, there are always plenty of opportunities.
  • While playing for Barnsley, Alex was the first person to score 1000 runs, since Geoffrey Boycott.
  • Working for the fire service reminds Alex of cricket. Listen to find out why.
