Well if you've seen the news today you'll see that my cricketer mate didn't make it. He got up, went to work to do a job he loved, there was a freak accident, he didn't go home. It's not right, it's not fair. He was 25 years old, a kind, cheeky, always smiling lad who brightened up the days of those he spent time with.
When we get on our bikes we know only two well we are taking a risk, and we put on our leathers and our helmets to protect ourselves as best we can. But I never expected a friend to die playing cricket. I guess we have to remember that life is precious.
