It is probably worth reading through the pile of work that Roebuck racks up since he makes up for it with the occassional gem. And the piece on batsmen had me thinking about one of the batsmen whom I have admired a lot, Damien Martyn. He was hailed as a genius when he started out, got dropped in a match where he top scored. When he came back into the team his batting was a treat to watch, a batsman who has fully understood his game and is in full control of his faculties. His knocks when playing in the sub-continent in his only tour over here were a treat. And he retired the instant he figured things were not going for him. Nightwatchmen.
