clark retires, probably

With all the talk about killer ankles in the South African dressing room, everyone forgot about Stuart Clark’s prosthetic elbow.

Unfortunately the warranty has expired.

And Stuart Clark’s test career may be over.

That is the bad news.

The good news is that Peter Sizzle is in Perth, and looks like he is about to play for his country, again.

Now all that talk about South Africa’s amazing pace attack of pure pace, you know the one that didn’t do much in England, doesn’t mean much, as Australia also has three bowlers who have been clocked at over 150 clicks.

I am sure that won’t stop the press juggernaut that seems enamoured with the saffa quicks.

It’s almost as if they missed the entire English summer in which the saffa quicks were just good.

Now Australia have 3 proper quicks, and the saffas have 3 proper quicks.

Australia has Krazy Krejza, and South Africa has the statistical anomaly of Paul Harris, not to mention Roy and the Eunuch Kallis.

Stuart Clark won’t be happy with the fact there is a certain synchronicity about the attacks.

He would prefer to play.

And maybe one day he will.

But I doubt it.
