Bazza
International 12th Man
You don't want to know! Come to think of it, can he even remember any more? hehe :P 
I haven't met any cricketers but maybe that will change when I go to Lord's.
Actually that's a lie I met Cardigan Connor once, the Hampshire legend who once took 9-38 against Gloucestershire in 1996. But he isn't an international cricketer. I've bowled to Laurence Prittipaul, current Hampshire player, in the nets once as well, but that's it I think.

Face it, guys and gals.
You'll get there soon, one day.
I don't mind being old. I saw Graeme Pollock bat - and that memory is one which deserves to last a lifetime.

I know he's not an International yet but Chris Rogers has been playing over here and I've seen him around Shrewsbury. He writes an artical for the Shropshire Star (Shropshire's No.1 paper). He seems like a really nice guy to boot, not arrogent at all, loves the game and has very mature views.

Doug Walters I've played a round of golf with.

Its quite a rewarding experience when you get an oppertunity to spend some time with international stars off the field to realise that most of them are just regular blokes.
Once at a jazz/Karioke club Sir Gary Sobers and Viv Richards walked in, and just when things couldnt get any better the MC made an announcement introducing casually next song to be performed by Vivian ..... Believe it or not most people did not clue-in and thought Vivian as a female (Alcohol :rolleyes well up walked the "master blaster" on stage and crooned soulfully as a maestro .... and he brought the house down.
That was a UNBELIEVABLE NIGHT !

I've met Geoff too and he was bluff or brusque as opposed to plain rude (typical Yorkshire grit, you might call it).
Perhaps he was just having a bad day (and he's had plenty of those recently).
