Charlie, I didn't say he WOULD be another Wainwright but there is every chance that as he is at the back end of his career and may not be as good as we hope. I hope he does play well but our record ain't good with the 'older' player.
Re Hartley, I thought he was just hitting form in the last couple of games he played, coinciding with us playing a much more expansive style. He's not played since
