Q: where did Dizzy’s mojo go?

A: McGrath’s regeneration continues. Body part by body part. During the Edgbaston test he took the opportunity to renew his legs, now he his working on his upper limbs. Dizzy’s awful, sad form slump begins to make sense if you think about how strenuous this process must be for McGrath. Physically regenerating a body part is no problem (that same old elbow one day, spanking new model elbow the next), but the new body is nothing without a force character in which to embed itself – the McGrith needs a structural charisma. It seems clear that Dizzy has sacrificed his mojo to the cause. McGrath will play at the Oval, but shortly after that he will disappear from the scene – mystery will surround the event. But Dizzy, in his new starring stooge role on Pizza, will have a full understanding and a certain pride. From out of 2 great Australian bowlers, one youthful force, greater than any that have gone before it, comes to tear up the cricket world with its pace, its control, and phenomenal ability to move the ball in manners that not even the master of the dark Welsh art of reverse swing, Simon Jones, could imagine. He will be tall with a blonde mullet and he will mutter.
