When Will I be Famous?

[Langeveldt]

I saw Trescothick pushing a pram with his wife the other day, he looked like he'd rather be facing Brett Lee to be honest..

 

[Langeveldt]

No you didn't, just want to make sure we are on the same page

Yes has huge hands and soft hands as well, must use a good cream

hahaha, reminds me of the legendary Cricket Player - Nibbs incident..

Really?
They way they put it in WCOTY he loves his Hayley and kids more than being at the crease and being on the course.

Thats until you retire, your wife goes all wrinkly, and the kid starts demanding money..

Y'old cynic, you.














Some girls remain beautiful well into their 50s.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Does that apply to James (New Zealand), Neil (England) and Corey (Australia) too?

Depends on a lot more than the England score...

 

[Richard]

Ah, these fickle University students...
How much would depend on the outcome of our latest round of Bouncer-Hook?

Pseudo-insults not necessary. (The blatant insult of Piscine a while back wasn't either btw.)

Heh, Motson never changes - I have him on ignore and I still see stuff regularly like this whenever he unfortunately graces CW with his omniscience complex.

Michael Slater: Absolute champion. Was just after he was dropped from the Aussie team and he was approachable and chatted for quite a while (including thoughts on whether he'd get back in).
Michael Bevan: The opposite of Slater...
Nathan Bracken: Talked to us for a while about bowling to Tendulkar etc, good guy.
Brad Haddin: Very nice bloke.
Shane Lee: Didn't have much to say...so I don't know.

 

[sqwerty]

Steve Waugh - polite but disinterested (fair enough)
Michael Clarke - very friendly and actually asked questions himself
Binger - very friendly and accomodating
McGrath - same again - my kids played with his kids all week on holidays - his wife even friendlier
Pollock - appeared arrogant - may have caught him at a bad moment
Bevan - strange
Mo Matthews - p1sshead but always good for an hour or 2 chat as long as you keep buying his drinks and share a cab home.
Travis Friend - top bloke
Aminul Islam - couldn't meet a nicer bloke - always greets me politely and shows genuine interest

Anthony McGrath, used to live across the road from one of my friends. Told me to move my car (a tiny corsa) so he could get his (a huge city style 4x4) out of the road.

I wasnt even blocking it (parked infront of my mates garage!)

Miserable so and so. He's moved now though.

Viv Richards-- seemed to be a decent guy, borrowed and wore my pads when he was going out to bat
Doug Walters-- very, very funny
Atul Wassan-- played in his team during the Shanghai Sixes, gave me bowling tips

 

[Haddin]

Adam Gilchrist
Darren Lehmann
Ricky Ponting
Jason Gillespie - I beat him in a throwing contest - one stump.
And I am sure theres a few more.

[nookie_lk]

well i know Farvees Maharoof well since we went to school together (wesley). Hes a very nice guy and hasnt taken the fame that seriously..I meet him regulary at our school rugby matches..he never misses them. Also i met Sanath Jayasuriya at a famouse night club in Colombo checking out girls and sipping a Vodka with redbull...i was too drunk that night i think i told that he's the best batsman in the world or something...(lol)

Brett Lee - Very nice and approachable.
Stuart MacGill - Asked us how we were and made conversation, and someone didn't have a pen for him to sign with, so he asked if anyone had one he could use...
Brad Haddin - It was in a NSW match, he was just visiting one of his friends to have a chat (they were sitting behind us) and he said hello and we chatted for a bit...
Steve and Mark Waugh - Were OK, they were in a hurry though...
Aaron Nye - It was his debut for Queensland and he got a century, though I reckon he was more nervous than I was (it was a while ago) while I was getting his autograph...
Dominic Thornely - It was quite amusing, actually, he was talking about the advantages and disadvantages of being a red-head...quite nice..
Phil Jaques - A few years ago, he wasn't really that "famous" yet...
Matthew Nicholson - Towered over just about everyone...
Glenn McGrath - Real nice bloke. He gave a few bowling tips and make a few jokes...
Nathan Bracken - His hair was a real attraction... He was signing close to McGrath so they joked about a bit....

Can't be bothered to remember any more atm..

And of course so many other people change from said condition too...

Think I have a new favourite Aussie.

Dom Thornely is a legend. My dad coached him as a youngster and often keeps in contact. Well spoken guy. Had a beer with him a few weeks ago.

Think I have a new favourite Aussie.

Me too.
