"Great" is the most over-used adjective in sport. This weekend, I counted umpteen times when commentators used "great" to describe an athlete. They are not "great"; they are "good". The great ones earn that sobriquet over a lifetime of achievement; not with one play in a young, still fledgling career. These athletes are good; greatness awaits them, at the end of a long journey.
