Was in quarantine for 2 weeks when he arrived in the country as officials tried to minimise the risk of locals contracting black magic.

****ing great day at the cricket. Baked all day in the sun but sounds like our pink 'Bird is the word' and 'Give Huss a bowl' signs copped a few baits on the TV. Never heard a crowd get as excited as when it turned out Huss was actually going to be given a bowl. Loved it.
I was dead in the middle of the crowd section where the cheering/chanting for Hussey was loudest, especially because he sometimes fielded more or less in front of us against Lyon. Seriously, that chant near the end when they noticed Hussey starting to limber up at 2nd slip with about five overs to go...

GIVE IT TO HUSSEY!

*clap-clap clap-clap clap*

GIVE IT TO HUSSEY!

*clap-clap clap-clap clap*

****ing brilliant. Won't forget that in a hurry.

My greatest memory of the SCG is smuggling in some oranges which I had filled with vodka by injecting them with a vodka filled syringe.

Great memories.

Not watched much cricket this summer?
Mitchell Stark getting taken apart by any decent batsmen and the other bowlers, but I guess the selectors couldn't pick anyone knew seeing how queensland won the shield last year and they don't want to pick those guys
