I was a rubbish cricketer, and never had the good fortune to play against the great ones....

However, in a village match of sorts, I played against Jeff Dujon's cousin when he was a top schoolboy cricketer, Cadogan, and he bowled me for one and ran me out for one, in the last time I ever opened the batting....

Woah.. Got a Cricinfo profile yet? :P

For me, netted/trained with: Attapattu, Jayasuriya, Matthews, Maharoof, Tharanga. All of them are nice blokes, except Jayasuriya.

Jack actually has a CricInfo profile, played some U-19's for Australia. Reckon he'd be better than Beer or Doherty as a spinner

Here's vic_orthdox's profile.

Had no idea that he's actually a NSWman.

Pretty impressive list, that. When did you get the chance to play with the women? My sister's in the same club with Perry and Healy, so plays with them quite a bit.

Didn't impress me as a cricketer, her eyes though...

She did all right when she played a men's grade game though.

Awesome

Would post mine but I don't want people to know who I am

 

[Daemon]

He's an arrogant wanker. Didn't show respect to anyone when he was out here. Agreed the standard of cricket was way too low for his greatness but god damn, swearing at 14-15 year olds? That's ****ed up. Don't even get me started on his demands for ice baths and continental breakfasts and all that bull****.

Played with the chicks in some promotional game.

I shouldn't be overly critical I guess, but it's a distinctive drop in pace and everything from mens cricket to womens.

Healy can swing a bat though, played some really nice and adventurous shots.

[Jono]

Wait, Jack you were born here (i.e. Sydney, where I am right now)?

 

[vic_orthdox]

Yeah, born in Sydney, moved down to Melbourne at 6 months. Preferred the lifestyle.

 

[Jono]

Yeah, born in Sydney, moved down to Melbourne at 6 months. Preferred being around less ****heads.

True dat

 

[shivfan]

Oh yeah, I've also met Easton 'Bull' McMorris, but I didn't list him, because he's an arsehole....
