Mundane sightings of high-profile cricketers

[Chin Music]

A mate of mine from my cricket club is a Nottingham Forest fan and he shared a picture of himself with Stuart Broad at Wembley on Sunday on our team's whatsapp thread.

That's a good one

Reminded me I walked past him in Newcastle Central station earlier this year. A random place to encounter him but he'd been doing evening with Stuart Broad tour the night before.

Still pinching myself this happened



These two were sitting with a lady at breakfast. I went to Walsh and sheepishly said "sorry if I'm disturbing you, you are Courtney Walsh?". He said "no, I'm his twin brother"

Me: "And he is Curtly Ambrose"

Awkwardly tried to take a selfie at the breakfast table but couldn't fit all 3. Big Curtly said let's stand up and take a picture

That's awesome. Where is this? London?

Curtly, Courtney and Cunkitj



But seriously, happy for you bro. A cricket nerd's dream and you lived it.

That's so cool. They do look like they're about to e-scort you off the premises though.

Oakland, near San Francisco.

I don’t know whether to think that’s a very lucky lady or a very poor lady.

Classic sarcasm from Walsh, makes me like him even more.

Would probably be pretty happy to be recognised in America tbh.

MLC 2025 kicks off on June 12, with defending champions Washington Freedom taking on San Francisco Unicorns in a rematch of last season's final at the Oakland Coliseum

Maybe that's why they were there.

Surely yes as there isn't another good reason to visit Oakland ever. JK love that town but it has it's awful parts.

That's a wild sentence to lead with.

Ahhh **** man this is everything I love. West Indies fast bowlers from the 90s, Indian cricket fans, player sightings, all in the most awkward photo I've ever seen in my life. Like literally I can feel the awkwardness through my screen. I love this so much. It has so many layers.

Courtney Walsh's face is my favourite. He would hand back all 519 Test wickets just to get out of the shot as quickly as possible.

Good on you man, this is epic

Awkward photo? I was going to frame it and hang it in my living room.

Just remember to crop out the stereotypical American traveling salesmen in the background

@ankitj I'm surprised they didn't also invite you to the opening ball ceremony. A big miss for cricket in America.
