David Sales missed the boat after he ruined his knee? Or am I thinking of someone else?
yes and no. breathtakingly talented when he was younger, used to hit double and triple tons for fun. He did have an injury but for whatever reason didn't fulfil his potential. Had some amazing seasons for Northants.
sort of similar to Rob Key, don't know if the super-fit demands of England's cricketers really fitted with him. Rob (by all accounts) likes a pint and a fag I think Sales was the same.
just because you are super-fit thou won't change your talent
