Quote: sally cinnamon "This is a good point too. Not many players can prolong their career at the top well into their 30s like Briers is doing, it takes a model professional that has prepared himself well and looked after his body and Briers can give some tips to upcoming players on how to look after themselves so they can have as long a career in the game as he has.'"
Yes - model sporting professionals who like to look after themselves and get themselves into the peak of condition and fitness by scarfing a few pints just a couple of hours before taking to the field in vital cup games are just the kind of inspiration that our young players need to look up to. I bet he taught Scott Moore everything he knows...
And besides, Briers only qualifies as a top player now because the standard of the competition and players in it has collapsed down to his level over the last few years. He could only teach the younger generation how to be the very definition of average and win nothing at a nothing club for the vast majority of their careers, and give tips on how best to keep warm while living in the icy shadow of [iactual[/i top players like Martyn, Long, Goulding, Pryce, Sculthorpe etc.
