Swanny's video diary

The third installment of Swanny's video diary is absolutely brilliant, think I might have to work on my Sprinkler if I want to get to Bresnan's level.

Has anyone mastered the sprinkler ? I definitely lack the rhythm for this move. Bres and Colly look the masters to me.

So long as he doesn't video what he and Broad do in private.

Then again, that's a matter for them.

Great fun and shows they are a happy camp.Be great if one of the bowlers used the sprinkler as a celebration when they got a wicket.

Outstanding

Edit: I've been reflecting on this today. Quite apart from the quality of the video diary - and the sprinkler in particular - I really reckon it's an incredibly positive thing. The team has great people in it, and great staff around it - Saker, Mushy, Flower - and the spirit within the team seems excellent. And as for Swanny himself, this video gives an idea of the positive effect he has on the team. Can bat, can field, will be an enormously influential and positive team player - and is the best spinner in the world. I just can't believe our luck at his emergence.

Thought the first diary entry was a little awkward, but the third was superb.

Adidas beard thing was just classic.

Dreamy.

edit: Jimmeh's "there's nothing wrong with being informative and interesting" comment slayed me.

Loving Swanny's diary. Makes me LOL every time.

Even the cheesy stuff with Jimmy in a towel.
