18 1/2 stone of cricket talent: It is eight days to the beginning of the cricket season, and pictured here enjoying a meal in 25 year old Northampton shire cricketer, Colin Milburn - 18 1/2 stone of cricket talent. He said all this talk of "Lose weight if you want to regain your test place" came from news papers never officially from the M.C.C or selectors. " I mean, if that's what they really felt, of course, i would go on a diet., but it would be hard. The way i am now i go to the wicket and i am balanced. Balance means a lot and if i weighed two stone less it might go. Then he went back to the North ants nets to practice calling "Yours" from first slip as the ball streaked past.
