The knee saga...
Last spring probably did me a favour with the Covid situation, as it mean that there was no cricket till late June? So I had all of Spring and the early part of the summer basically doing rehab. Walking for most of the time interspersed with short bursts of running. By the time we got some cricket my knee felt fine. So good I didn't really know which knee had been giving me grief.
Since Sept 2020 though, I like a lot of people haven't been doing a great deal physically apart from some Yoga and stretching and upper body strength exercises focusing on arms and shoulders. Sitting around all the time though, I'm aware that this is a potentially a bad move with regards weakening the butt muscles and eventually that impacts on the knees. I do a fair bit of flexibility exercises and put my knees through a bit of a going over doing this and I'm aware that the left knee feels less flexible or potentially susceptible to future issues, but I'm hoping as we come out of the winter and lock-down this year I can start getting out and about and exercising in readiness for a new season.
Talking of which there seems to be some really good news. It seems that we've got 10 new adult players and they sound like they're all South Asian blokes, so that bodes well on so many fronts. In addition to that there's a big crop of younger players coming through this year as well. So many it seems, that we're definitely going to be able to field 4 teams for the first time in 3 or 4 years! Hopefully there's some batters among them because that's what we seem to be missing! Hopefully, I'll get to play in a team that suits my age and abilities rather than playing 2nd XI and 3rd XI cricket! I might actually get some wickets!
