Bedding down is big issue for England team
Published: 10 March 2010
The bedding on offer in the luxury Chittagong hotel that is currently being used by the England cricket team is proving to be unpopular with the team, who note that the mattresses are remarkably unforgiving.
Even though the hotel is fantastic, it seems like the England team are struggling to have good quality sleep during their tour of the Indian subcontinent this month.It was revealed by Stuart Broad, the team's fast-bowling superstar, that the beds in their stopover destination have been awful on the body, even possibly causing problems picked up by the man who spoke of the problem.
Broad suffered a back spasm in the second one-day international against Bangladesh on Saturday and has attributed much of the team's discomfort to the solid beds in their Chittagong hotel, with extra foam being laid down on mattresses to boost their bedding.
"It was actually Matt Prior's idea," Broad claimed.
"The next day some maintenance guy from the hotel walked in with a massive bit of foam and we cut it up so that we each had enough for our beds. Now a few of the other lads have followed suit."
Craig Kieswetter has been the recent star of the tournament, firing off 107 runs off 121 balls in the win over Bangladesh a few days ago.
Give your home that elegant 5 star hotel finish…
