cricket with balls

Take that KP.

I am ok, but if you notice a drop off in scintillating cricket commentary in the next few days, you know why.

There is a chance I either picked it up in the press box, or brought it to the press box.

So here is a list of people that I could have caught it off or given it too:

Ben Dorries (although I had no contact with him).
Gideon Haigh
Cricinfo staff (A Miller, A Brown, P English)
Richie
David Frith
Mark Nicholas
Shane Warne
Bumble
Michael Atherton
Scyld Berry
Hugh Chevalier
James from Cricket Australia
Peter Roebuck
Lawrence Booth
John Stern

Plus other people, who are less famous, or who I have forgotten.

   James from CA. That’s what being part of the “Australian Cricket Family” is all about apparently.

   That sucks. Good that Strauss or Flintoff is not on the list

   Any chance you could spend some time hanging around with Michael Clarke and Brad Haddin?

    You must be sick, there’s no post on David Hussey’s 189 off 205 balls for Notts and the need for him to replace his brother in the test team

    Given that the elderly are most vulnerable to swine flu, have you considered the implications (or lasting legacy) that could befall Cricket With Balls if it transpired that (a) you took swine flu into the Lords media centre (worse than not wearing a tie in the pavillion), (b) you infected Richie and (c) Richie died of the disease you gave him? You would forever be the man that killed Richie Benaud and you’d have to be put in some kind of anti-Australian witness protection programme. On the plus side, however, you’d also get more hits than any other cricket site and could sell your story to the guys that made Priscilla Queen of the Desert. Think of the possibilities…
