What's happened to Mark Lawson?

Not the follically challenged chubbster formerly from Newsnight but the other one. From Yorkshire. With all the leg-spinning and stuff.

Pretty sure he's only played 1 or 2 games this season. Fallen way behind Adil Rashid in the pecking order, on the basis that Rashid is a better batsman and fielder, and has a better bowling record. Just better, basically.

Funny thing is, Rashid and Lawson were both in the Yorks team towards the end of last season and taking wickets for fun. This season, Yorkshire have brought in a Pakistani legspinner while Lawson seemingly twiddles his thumbs on the sidelines. Unless he's injured, but I haven't heard that.

Needs to move counties if he wants to get a look-in, I'd say.

Taking a little time out for "personal problems" I heard.

"Personal problems"??

Is he preparing to come out?

I don't know. It's personal.

Where did you hear this Jay?

Where's the quote from?

I wonder if it's Trescothick-style personal reasons (i.e. he's a foaming mental) or Lara-style personal reasons (i.e. he's caught the clap off some skanky ho again)

Would catching the clap stop you from playing cricket though?

Dunno, but I bet no-one would want to borrow your box.

The red part of the text is the link.

Modern technology, eh....

"Personal reasons" is such a handy excuse for everything. Why arent you at work? "Personal reasons".

Why is there a pink bra in this drawer that isnt mine? "Personal reasons."

Why did you just urinate on my chips?

"Personal reasons."

So I think in the end Lawson ended up prematurely retiring to coach a County second XI.

The new and updated thread should be "What's happened to Scott Borthwick?"

...or Stuart Broad
