<\/iframe><\/p>\nThe Middlesex CCC players gathered at Lords today for the annual media day. There was a decent crowd of journalists and all the Middlesex squads were available for interview and photoshoots.<\/p>\nThere were two big cricket stories over the winter. <a href=\"http:\/\/prostinternational.com2022\/01\/16\/australia-beat-england-by-146-runs-to-secure-4-0-ashes-victory\/\">Australia once again thumped England<\/a> in the Ashes which caused the traditional outpuring of blame in the English media.<\/p>\nHowever the whole cricket world was brought together on March 4 when news of the tragic <a href=\"http:\/\/prostinternational.com2022\/03\/05\/the-iconic-shane-warne-passes-away-at-the-age-of-52\/\">death of Australian leg spinner Shane Warne<\/a> broke.<\/p>\nOne person present at Lords today who was affected more than most was Middlesex leg spinner Nathan Sowter. Sowter is a New South Walian and his decision to become a leg spinner was largely influenced by Warne as he explains in the video above.<\/p>\nSowter largely bowled slow medium until he was introduced to the ‘Shane Warne’ ball; a product created by Cricket Australia with two dots painted in to simulate Warne’s grip.<\/p>\nFrom then on, he was hooked on leg spin and followed Warne’s career.<\/p>\nNaturally Warne’s death hit Sowter very hard and he was at Lords the day the news broke:<\/p>\n<blockquote>“I remember walking up to the Pavilion and I just had tears in my eyes,” the 29-year-old admitted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nTo add to the natural emotion, he actually had to walk past the portrait of Warne on his way to the dressing room.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_278959\" style=\"width: 1410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-278959\" class=\"size-full wp-image-278959\" src=\"http:\/\/prostinternational.comwp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Sowter-Warne-Cropped-png.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" \/>Nathan Sowter passed the portrait of Shane Warne in the Lords Pavilion on the day the Middlesex leg spinner learned of Warne’s death<\/p><\/div>\nIn the second part of the interview to run tomorrow, Sowter talks about his career and his hopes for the season, with a shock revelation about his international ambitions.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bARfm1J-mdk\">Video: Luke Holman interview.
