Is it better to burn out than to fade away?

Thats the question that I asked myself before i started watching the XXXX Gold Beach Cricket which featured a line up of some of the greatest Australian, English and West Indian cricketers of once upon a time. Just not now.

What it turned out to be was an entertaining sporting event. That their bodies and abilities were past their best just helped the game as the legends lumbered and winced through the game as their bodies protested against some of the movements required.

Now i am looking forward to round three next week!
