Inspired by a conversation in the NZ Domestic thread:
I was staying in Whangarei over the weekend, went to watch the test in the hotel bar for a bit, and it was me, Wags and Raval watching
You'll all be pleased to know that Wags behaved exactly as you would expect and was more focused on the test than any of his teammates. A few other ND guys came and went but Wags was there the whole time, sprawled out on the couch, even stayed there by himself for a while when all of his mates had left.
Unfortunately I couldn't sidle up alongside him when he stood up without making it weird so I couldn't get a great height assessment. Surprisingly skinny legs though.
This is awesome and there should be a thread for mundane cricketer sightings. I've seen Trent twice in the last couple of years - once at a mall the day before he should have played the Mount Test, and the other a few weeks ago at Time Zone with his boys. They had a few tokens and he would only let them purchase within their token limit, rather than the millions of franchise dollars in his bank account. I found that humourous
A friend apparently spotted Martin Guptill at a Krispy Kreme the other day. Questionable taste, IMO.
I saw Chris Martin buy an ironing board at the mall in palmy.
I saw Vusi Sibanda in line at a cafe in Canberra. Should've told him he was better than Sehwag.
We need a thread for this ****, seriously. I was in a Mount Maunganui cafe today and saw John Bracewell walk in wearing an outrageous fluoro yellow hat, then about 5 minutes later Ben Lister turned up - a lot more inconspicuously
I was tongue tied when I met Wesley Madhevere but I managed to stumble out that he needed to average 40 in test cricket or Zimbabwe were finished. I think I managed to tell Richie Ngarava he'd bowled well.
Also stammered embarrassingly when I met Nathan Smith for the first time since he became a professional. He said he remembered me but I think he was just being polite.
