Meat vendor
Calum MacLeod has had a minor operation to remove a cyst but will be fully fit in time for Warwickshire's pre-season trip to South Africa and the rest of the Bears' squad are as fit as butchers' dogs, which means extremely fit, although if you go back through the records, there must surely have been a dog somewhere, some time, which belonged to a meat vendor and at the same time let it go a bit, fitness-wise.
Anyway, the absence of injuries is welcome especially among the bowling department as it appears increasingly likely that the Bears will go into the 2009 season without an overseas paceman.
Little or no headway has been made in the hunt for one of sufficient calibre.

I wonder if Brad Hogg wil fancy a summer in the rain ?
Perhaps best not to get one at all instead of ending up with a Pretorius or a Zondeki.
What sort of exercise regime are butcher's dogs put through to justify their exalted status?
As the spin bowling dept is covered they could do worse than get Hogg back. He was a brilliant middle-order batsman in 04.
