Tragic. Nuftie. Obsessive. All have been used to describe my relationship with cricket. A player of the game since I was 7 years old, there are few better memories from my childhood than the times I got my hands on a new chunk of precious willow. The promise of runs on the weekend was always there — even if the reality was sometimes a little more elusive.
