Norwood's on Fire
I'm not sure his injury troubles circa 06 were down to how he looked after himself but rather his action etc.Qualitative difference between Bond and Flintoff though. Bond was very fit. He was just injury prone. Flintoff didn't work hard enough to be fit (unless he had a metabolic issue which I didn't know about).
His poor physical fitness was more of an early career thing, really.
Any all-rounder with his workload circa 06 would do well to come through unscathed.
Giving him the captaincy was a bridge too far, but hey, we'll always have Mumbai 06.
Captained his side to their first Test win in India for 20+ years, across the series averaged 50 with the bat and 30 with the ball, tied the series with a patched up team. Remarkable really. What a champion.
