Cricketer Ryan Sidebottom's back pain is being blamed on uncomfortable hotel mattresses. Can staying in hotels really be bad for the back?
Bowlers put a huge pressure on their back and are prone to spinal injuries, so it should be little surprise to learn of Sidebottom's injuries.
But the explanation for his stiff back - which might mean he misses the next Test match - was unexpected.
"The problem arose because we travel around the country every week and we're sleeping in a different bed," said Ottis Gibson, the England bowling coach.
"Unfortunately, Sidebottom suffers more than anyone else at the moment from sleeping in different beds. He often wakes up and he's got a stiff back."BY-BBC NEWS
