The Oxford English Dictionary’s definition of reassurance is “the action of removing someone’s doubts or fears”. Dominic Sibley embodies the OED’s definition when he walks out to bat for Surrey.
As he starts another day at the office he is a reassuring sight, removing the fears of his teammates and the doubts of Surrey supporters. Whether there are twenty minutes in the day to survive under the floodlights, or the sun is beating down on a flat one, the sight of Surrey’s tall right-handed opener making his way to the middle means everything will be well and the only doubts and fears will felt by the bowlers who have to start the long job of trying to prize him from the crease.
