I assume you are referring to Alec James Stewart, England's finest?

When Stewart was in full flow, there were few who could live with him. Relying on touch, he was in his element against the quicks, cover-driving with a neat flourish and pulling with panache - most memorably when he thundered two centuries during England's storming of fortress Bridgetown in 1993-94.

Blimey - that is on old, old photo - loving those Slaz graphics! I had a V12 from the same generation. I didn't realise Stewart was sponsored by Slaz before he was sponsored by Kook before he was sponsored by Slaz again

it was pretty much the oldest one I could find on Cricinfo, it is from West Indies v England, 1st Test, Jamaica, Feb 25th 1990

Will Dravid even make it?
Simple answer in no mate.

Truly a wonderful player for India but his on the wane. His eyes seem to be going as well.

If Pujara hasn't replaced him by then I'll cry!!!!

Good call - he will get picked ahead of Youvraj.

I think Raina is going to be a good player too...

I had my doubts about Raina, issues with the bouncer, but he was excellent vs the Lankans. Raina also proved he's better than the selectors favourites Rohit(rubbish) and Kohli.

Yuvraj's Test career is over...for the time being. He lacks the temperament for Test's

In this day and age of indoor nets and bowling machines, why do players still have issues with the short ball?

This is a bit of a retorical question, but they clearly just don't work hard enough at it when they are developing. When I was at school (this isn't going to be a rant I promise!) we all used to line up in full kit and have tennis balls thrown at us so we would learn to duck and watch the ball, then bounced at us so we learned to get behind the ball, then we were given a going over with the bowling machine.
That was at an average cricket school 15 years ago... do people not get this kind of practice any more??

Very doubtful Dave, he's getting on a bit and he plays for one of the less favoured sides.
