I seem to have a problem whenever I bowl six or more overs in a row straight after tea.
I seem to suffer a minor myocardial infarction.
Any suggestions?

Get the captain to win the toss and bowl first?

Immodium.

Eat more at tea at a greater pace. Your stomach gets full before your brain does so you have around 6 minutes to overload. Should help.

Myocardial infarction (MI) or acute myocardial infarction (AMI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow stops to part of the heart causing damage to the heart muscle. The most common symptom is chest pain or discomfort which may travel into the shoulder, arm, back, neck, or jaw. Often it is in the center or left side of the chest and lasts for more than a few minutes. The discomfort may occasionally feel like heartburn. Other symptoms may include shortness of breath, nausea, feeling faint, a cold sweat, or feeling tired.[1] About 30% of people have atypical symptoms,[2] with women more likely than men to present atypically.[3] Among those over 75 years old, about 5% have had an MI with little or no history of symptoms.[4] An MI may cause heart failure, an irregular heartbeat, or cardiac arrest.[5][6]
Most MIs occur due to coronary artery disease.[5] Risk factors include high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, lack of exercise, obesity, high blood cholesterol, poor diet, and excessive alcohol, among others.[7][8] The mechanism of an MI often involves the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque leading to complete blockage of a coronary artery.[5] MIs are less commonly caused by coronary artery spasms which may be due to cocaine, significant emotional stress, and extreme cold, among others.[9][10] A number of tests are useful to help with diagnosis including electrocardiograms (ECGs), blood tests, and coronary angiography.[11] An ECG may confirm an ST elevation MI if ST elevation is present.[2] Commonly used blood tests include troponin and less often creatine kinase MB.[11]
Aspirin is an appropriate immediate treatment for a suspected MI.[12] Nitroglycerin or opioids may be used to help with chest pain; however, they do not improve overall outcomes.[2][12] Supplemental oxygen should be used in those with low oxygen levels or shortness of breath.[12] In ST elevation MIs treatments which attempt to restore blood flow to the heart are typically recommended and include angioplasty, where the arteries are pushed open, or thrombolysis, where the blockage is removed using medications.[2] People who have a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) are often managed with the blood thinner heparin, with the additional use angioplasty in those at high risk.[12] In people with blockages of multiple coronary arteries and diabetes, bypass surgery (CABG) may be recommended rather than angioplasty.[13] After an MI lifestyle modifications along with long term treatment with aspirin, beta blockers, and statins is typically recommended.[2]

Wait, from the post above, fat blokes who have a bad diet, smoke like chimney and eat too much at tea are at most risk, isn't that most club cricketers?

Are you serious? That is a heart attack!
If you are not joking about this and it is an actual episode of MI, cease and desist from all cricket and visit your nearest cardiologist.

I have never understood the smoking. We apparently have our share of smoker cricketers on this side of the pond ...many of them picked up the "bad" habit in their youth.
