Let me just stay off the bat so to speak I'm overweight so any comment i make is an observation but...
the english pacemen and cricketers in general look fitter than us.
Siddle and bollinger look like 1990s english pacemen.
the English all look superfit, like fleming, dizzy, mcgrath and brett in the 90s as well.
not over-muscled, just fit, with no fat.
their conditioning is very good and that I think goes to their endurance in the field, their capacity to bowl long spells, and their general attentiveness in taking catches.
(That said about 5 were put down in the FC game against victoria but they haven't missed anything in the test matches so far).
Has our conditioning slipped as has our fielding? wasn't our physio once considered the best in the world?
Have we just thought shuffling the deckchairs is enough, rather than building a team from ground up, from fitness, to discipline, to endurance, to catching etc.
Even punter is developing jowls.
