Saw him in Newcastle on my tour in Jan, and he hinted it was on the cards then.

What sort of kick in the teeth is it for Surrey's up and coming players, that they have resorted to this never-was?

He'll probably get sunstroke or crash his Merc on the way to the Oval.

To be fair to him I bet he's in better shape than most cricketers who have been 6 years out of the Pro game.

Is there a single case of a cricketing Lewis who hasn't been an FFS?

I can only think of Jon, Rawl, Mick and Chris, who are FFSs to a man.

They needed someone of comparable ability to replace the country's premier all-rounder, Sir Richard of Clarkeshire.

Surprised they didn't get Adam Hollioake back again if they wanted a long-retired all-rounder, he appeared for Essex in T20 last year didn't he?

With the aid of some voodoo magic, Ben Hollioake.

Or - more tastefully - Dermot Reeve.

He is actually in great shape, and was playing Grade cricket in Oz this winter.

Fitter than many a county pro I would suggest!
