Introspection...

Revisiting familiar old territory..!

Counting my sacrifices to the Art of Wicketkeeping - 5 busted fingers, 2 broken noses (actually, 1 nose, broken twice), 1 hernia (which seems to have recurred now, after the operation to fix it first time around)... Plus innumerable blows to the body... I tend to agree with the Don when he says in his classic book "The Art of Cricket" that a wicketkeeper ends his career with a host of injuries... As opposed to Bob Taylor, England wicketkeeper, who reassures the beginner that he had only a chipped finger to show after a glorious career....

Can you spot the broken nose?!!
