Oram to quit Tests?
Get ready for lots of articles about how all-rounders can't cope given the current cricketing schedule, after Jacob Oram looks set to follow Andrew Flintoff into Test retirement.
Some people will always be more unlucky with injuries than others, and it's difficult to say whether the lure of IPL money is impacting on Oram of Flintoff's decision. I await Geoff Boycott, or someone similar, coming out and telling international cricketers that these days they are a bunch of jessies....

Flattered as I am to be considered similar to Geoff Boycott, yes, today's cricketers are a bunch of jessies. Some of us are old enough to remember proper county cricket being played 6 days a week, with much faster over rates than today, no hourly drinks intervals, and many players voluntarily taking part in festival or benefit games on the 7th day (Sunday). Today's cricketers are pampered and overpaid.
