I heard Bracewell talking about Macca's 'skinfolds' on the radio news last night. ie. he's fat.

The Ronaldo of NZ Cricket? But without the talent?

Ouch! I thought the first rule of coaching was to never insult your players infront of the public - let alone the media.

And poor old Macca does have diabetes, and that (or the treatment) can cause weight gain.
