Letter sent by me to the Times Crest Edition today
Refer to Ayaz Memon's article on Saturday's Crest edition, page 20, probably the golden age is just past us now. Where are the bowlers of esteem, bowlers who could take wickets on any track, bowlers whose name spelt fear, people like Glenn McGrath, Allan Donald, Shane Warne etc. Cricket has completely become a batsman's game now, with bowlers not getting any help from flat tracks. Also too much cricket in one form or another has taken the mystique away from some performers. Bowlers who could have made a difference are perenially injured, like Brett Lee, Shoaib Akhtar, Shane Bond etc. In my view the Golden age of cricket has gone away never to come back. Statistics don't make a golden age, the beauty of the game has been lost.
