document.write("I have been saying how badly out of shape a number of franchise cricketers are for some time now so it is great to see the comments come from someone who may be listened to. The players and their management teams should get their (fat) ####s kicked. The majority of players seem to work hard on their fitness and their games but guys like Kleinveldt, Philander, Frylinck and Abdullah should dream on about about really getting anywhere in the game in their current conditions..

document.write("Cobras are a joke. Philander, Kleinvelt and Telemachus would struggle to make the local WeightWatchers side!! It is a disgrace that Conrad has turned this team into a fatboys club. They should approach Australia's sponsor. KFC   Could stand for Kak Frigging Cricketers!!!. Simon");

document.write("<h5>agree</h5>");
document.write("I was lucky enough to do some fitness testing with an english county side a year ago. no one on their team got above 12 on the bleep test, with a few players pulling out because of migraines!! fair enough overtraining in the nets with fast bowlers may cause injury, but thats no reason to sit at home. a lot of people have a negative view of cricket/ers because there are so may overweight players. good article. jamie");
