Things are going better now than ever, but in 24 months? I could be hearing crickets.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Cricket is my life. Before the cancer, I was happy-go-lucky. I used to think about my career and worry about the future. But post it, my thinking has completely changed. I'm happy to eat and breathe normally. I'm happy to have my life back.
Cricket, the whole thing, playing, watching, being part of the Gaieties, has been a central feature of my life.
If you play good cricket, a lot of bad things get hidden.
Cricket has become more popular, not me... When the game grows, those who've played it also 'grow.'
Things are going to get better. Be optimistic.
Endless cricket, like endless anything else, simply grinds you down.
Still, I believe it is only a passing phase and cricket will one day produce an abundance of great players.
I'm completely cricketed out. If I never have to write another word about cricket again, I'll be a happy man.
My hearing after 50 years of playing music sometimes isn't too great.
I thought about cricket a lot. I needed to get out of this bubble of mine. I found it in books and conversations with other people about other things. I was a curious person, and this was my release. I like being challenged intellectually. I hated at the end of the day to talk cricket to someone else.
