All of them hit the treadmill daily. In a strange coincidence the other day in Vizag, running side by side were Sunil Gavaskar, Ricky Ponting, Mike Hussey and Stephen Fleming.

Asked what they discussed, one of them told us that they exchanged their scores.
“Over 36,000 Test runs, over 60,000 international runs, all combined,” he said.
