Who remembers Alex Tudor?
The once fast bowler, still only 29, was tipped ten years ago as the future of English cricket's seam bowling attack.
He is now on a pay-as-he-plays deal at Essex and bowled first change at New Road today at a distinctly unthreatening pace.
There was a time when Tudor used to be very quick and exciting, however.
In fact, I remember first watching him at The Oval about a decade ago when the sound of the ball thudding into the wicketkeeper's gloves was the most frequent and accurate indication that he had actually let the ball go after his long, bounding run.
