Damn that sucks. Was practically like a set piece in the test team.

That really blows - seemed like a top guy and somebody who was very committed to getting the best out of himself in all formats.

All the best James.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Decent fielder , useful middle order batsman..
Big loss for England .

 

[DT_fanatic]

So sad but I guess in the grand scheme of things it's good he's started his recovery. All the best to him.

 

[Pera]

Very sad. Had a tonne of potential. Good luck to him in the future.

 

[Hollow Sorrow]

Having a serious heart condition myself, I can understand the pain he must be feeling now, one day everything is normal and the next being told you can't do something you love and been doing all your life. Hopefully he has great support around him.

Soo sad but glad they have found it before further damage could be done! hopefully he can have a healthy life ahead

 

[Van_Dyke]

Injuries blows. Was a good little batsman. Shame that he won't be able to go through on his potential. One of the few sportsmen around my height.

Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

 

[The_Reaper]

Sad news. Was a promising talent.

Good luck in the future Jimmy

**** this is really s**t news.

Have felt for while that he was going to be an exceptionally good international batsman. The best short leg fieldsman that I have ever seen as well. Health comes first though and he has the rest of his life to look forward to.

Tbh never particularly rated him but his numbers at domestic level show his ability.

Big loss for England going forward.

Poor bloke.

Again, speaks volumes.

Again, speaks volumes.

Had an ordinary technique that i felt would be regularly exposed at test level.

Horrible for the guy. Wish him a healthy life.
