Fitness has become a major issue of concern in cricket at present. A cricketer looks far leaner, fitter, more agile and athletic than ever before.
However, frequent breakdowns seem to be the norm of a cricketer’s life today, even though, they now travel and stay in comfort and have a staff of professionals at their beck and call to look after them.
A line from the famous poem “Little Man Cricketer” written by Frank Jones comes to mind, “Cricket is a game for a real live man, keep fit little man keep fit”. The poem goes on to talk of various aspects of the game, from dropping a catch to winning or losing or getting out on the very first ball and through it all it says, “Just smile”.
Unfortunately, “just smile” is exactly what the fans and followers of cricket are putting up with as regards players’ fitness.
