Errol Alcott Pond Quotations

He has been put on an intravenous drip giving him antibiotics. He is comfortable and will be kept in overnight. The doctors are confident he is going to respond but he won't travel to Manchester with the team tomorrow.

We'd like more time of course but we're confident he's responding to treatment and he'll have more treatment today. We'd like to make a decision today but may wait until tomorrow.

He is responding well to treatment however he will be out of tomorrow's Twenty20 match.

That's always an area of concern. It's one thing starting a player with a problem and then it's always what can happen during a Test match. We don't want that situation to arise if we can avoid it. We'd like more time, of course, but we're confident he is responding to treatment.

It's nothing we're too unhappy about. Basically, the joint is irritated. We'd like more time of course but we're confident he's responding to treatment. He'll have more treatment today and we'll reassess him.
