Profile of Marcus Lyall

 

One of the crop of 2008 new recuits somehow managing to fit in playing cricket around working 3000 hours a week as a junior doctor. From what we have seen so far a stylish bat with the ability to resusciate any innings, no matter how sickly. Can he cure the chronic Mufs allergy to scoring big runs?

"Marvellous bedside manner, gawd bless 'im" - Mrs Agnes Crump, aged 146.
