Tremwatch: Workload Explosion

This blog may have given the impression that the 'management' of Surrey star signing Chris Tremlett's 'workload' was nothing more than an amusing euphemism. In reality, it's a strategy of genius, and should be adopted immediately by the entire world and everyone in it.

Number of games Surrey have played this season: 6

Number of overs bowled by Chris Tremlett: 26 [18-7-35-4 and 8-2-18-1].

He even got a knock as nightwatchman.

Tremwatch IV: Selected!

Breaking news of Tremmers and his workload: 'Tremlett set for First XI Bow' yodels the Surrey website.

'Tremlett, 28, signed for the club earlier this season, but has yet to make his debut after picking up a minor groin strain pre-season'.
