Why Matt Henry's plate is always full

The New Zealand quick tells Cricbuzz how undergoing surgery early in his career, and carrying a lot of drinks, taught him how to choose his internal narrative

Matt Henry doesn't take the titanium screws in his spine very seriously. "I should have a stronger back than anybody, technically," he jibes.

How many screws are in there?

"Two screws, yeah. Still lodged in there," he answers with a smile.
