It's not just about the back, yaar. It starts from the ground up – a worn pitch that jolts your landing, cheap shoes with no cushion, and bowling too many overs in a row because the team has no replacements. You feel it as a deep ache after play, like a knot that won't loosen with balm. We lost our best fast bowler last season to this; he now runs the tea stall near the ground, always rubbing his lower back while watching us.
