I've mentioned it before, but I once has a pi$$ next to Bob Willis in the Oval's lavs (Sri Lanka '98). He's a v tall man!

Given what we both had in our respective hands I thought it best not to speak!

I shook hands with the great All Black coach Fred Allen outside the Carisbrook terrace toilets. I bet he was glad he was wearing gloves.

How cool would it have been to have a game of backyard Cricket with them?!

that would have been awesome.. but they would be too serious and would want to continue their winning streak..

haha good call! I can so imagine it... Adam bowling off like a 4-pace run-up and Gilly/Hayden full padded up smacking him everywhere. And then Hayden is somehow run-out and Adam asks "Can you send in Pidge at three, it`d be really fun!" And Punter comes in at Three and says "What is that, a joke? Annhilation!"

One week earlier, though, the entire Australian cricket team was in Dhaka, and of course spent some time in the Australian Club adjoining the diplomatic compound, where our house was. So I missed out by one week on meeting the Australian cricket team in my own backyard.

Aminul Islam I've met before too. He plays district cricket near me. Still a fine batsman.

he was signed by Middlesex and released after the season
good chance that he will have a new county this summer

only thing he wanted to say that it was in midlands...and 2 counties showed interest
