Text of the page (random words):
k and there are heaps of photos on there a few great cricketing names were at singapore in shane bond shoiab akhtar sanath jayasuriya and some aussies like luke pomersbach wa liam davis wa rhett lockyer tas michael dighton tas and a heap of other people who just appeared out of the woodwork the last 6 weeks have been my first long break from cricket in what seems like years i managed to sneak in a road trip with the family through europe a day or so before i set off i heard from india that the rules were changed to allow me to compete in the clt20 with royal challengers bangalore this month previously rcb and i thought i was ineligible as i was replaced by chris gayle but in india anything is possible seriously what crap timing i ve got to get myself from the sloth of couch surfing and enjoying a beer to being a tear away quick in the space of 4 weeks family holidays and french austrian alps aren t conducive to fast bowling after some hiking that i will put down as my pre season campaign i made it back to london in time to again captain another side to a title this time it was the rest of the world team in a game against england at the hac ground in london a cracking venue right in the heart of london it s certainly strange captaining former stars like jimmy adams west indies saqlain muhstaq pak and others like hard hitting irishman o brien but i think we all enjoyed the day and even better the good guys won back in the uk my already shortened mini pre season were some damn hard yards the local cricket ground is a lonely place by yourself on wet and windy days in the uk but that was all i could use to get bowling loads in on most days other times i made it to surrey for a bowl in the middle of the oval for training time will tell if i ve done enough to prepare myself i think i have i m now sitting on a plane to bangalore with chris gayle before getting on the plane our twitter banter went something like this dirk_nannes henrygayle unlucky big man you re stuck with me from london to bangalore hope you talk clearer than you tweet isthereatranslatoronboard clearly by this tweet i m already on to him about his writing but an hour later he comes out with this one henrygayle 2pm jamaican talk me a look fi cut ya now lol seriously me a look fi cut ya now chris what the hell does that mean and who the hell understands that crap turns out it s i m about to leave now i ve got a lot to learn i can t end without mentioning my career sporting highlight that occurred about a month ago the all out cricket magazine september issue aside from it s in depth articles on everything cricket related it s got a brilliant piece on the 27 coolest cricketers of all time i ve slipped in to 17 th place and best of all it s above people like chris gayle who was considered to be trying too hard to be cool makes for brilliant change room banter and i ll be showing this one to my great grandkids when i m in my cricket induced wheelchair 3 weeks in india and my next appointment will be zimbabwe in late november followed by the huge big bash season with the melbourne renegades i am absolutely stoked to be involved with such a young fresh high risk high reward style of side like the renegades whatever happens it will be bloody exciting to watch us go at it on the field what a team go rcb and renegades 1 comment posted in from the field the world cup the 16th man and the bulletproof car posted on march 28 2011 5 comments i was looking forward to blogging most days whilst at the world cup but things just got in the way forgive me if i m rusty for starters much of my time was spent coming to grips with the role of the 16 th man in a world cup squad classed officially as entourage i was left on my own to discover what a 16 th man actually does i m yet to work it out but i will keep you posted as 16 th man i didn t enjoy the common luxuries like the rest of the squad the simple pleasures like a room at each hotel were often hard to come by without waiting an hour in reception because my name was not on the team list more importantly i didn t get my name sewn in to my towels in each changeroom or the fancy memorabilia that tony greig would call an original 6 inch icc commemorative world cup replica trophy complete with handmade luxury display case that would no doubt be a collector s item to be passed down the generations i can just see ricky s grandchildren 45 years from now proudly displaying this dust collector in its original luxury display case the flipside to these downfalls is the glorious stuff that comes with touring the things that you can t really explain to people unless they are there one such instance was yesterday morning my favourite fast bowler shaun tait and i were waiting for our ride to the airport the rest of the team flew out last night but we were staying behind to catch different flights when you aren t part of the main touring plans things just work differently normally a lot worse uday our reliable driver s job brief was to pick up 2 australian s from the hotel this morning he did that most ably but he took the wrong 2 aussies most likely just a couple of backpackers from sydney who were wrapped to have a free car and driver for the day cruising ahmadabad in a futile attempt to find something remotely interesting we were stuck no ride a plane to catch and not enough time to do it what the hell were we going to do gone was our standard bus with 4 police cars out in front sirens blaring announcing that a cricket team was coming through and that all within 500m should run quickly to the roadside to say hi but how our fortunes changed the local constabulary came to our aid and this time it was the stuff that kids dream about hollywood action in downtown ahmedabad we had a bulletproof car a presidential motorcade maybe without the motorcade part as we were on our own but it seemed at least 50 presidential and lets not let the truth get in the way of my story now before you think hollywood drama it s important you realise that we re still in india so it wasn t your classic hollywood 2 second getaway with tyres screeching you see when you are an indian policeman it s important to make sure that when transporting any cricketers you alert as many people as possible hell call in your mates for a photo get your hair gel out put your best sunnies on but lets just get on with it yes rajiv those 47 people across the road can see you have 2 cricketers in the car we can leave now come on rajiv no need to call your mother in law to come and take your photo yes rajiv you can have one snap with mr tait in front of your car no rajiv just get in the bloody car and drive already christmas came and went and then we started moving when i was a kid designing my bulletproof car out of lego it had a massive engine the kind of engine that batman s car had when you put your foot down it went faster than a ferrari screeching tyres flames coming out the back and lots of noise today rajiv s rocketship was an indian suzuki vitara with the engine from my dad s 1985 ride on mower weigh it all down with a ton of bulletproof glass and this ride was more like a sailing of the queen mary but that didn t make it less entertaining batman s machine didn t have 4 policemen with guns sandwiched inside and last time i checked you couldn t even register a suzuki vitara at home to carry 7 people i thought i was improvising to get 6 in my old datsun stanza so 7 in the vitara was most entertaining i have used my it degree for the first time in attaching a b grade photo of the car here shaun tait a random policemen with too many stars on his arm and i with the bulletproof rocketship for a boat we made it to the airport in record time a few well placed head wobbles to key people and we were on our flight i can assure you that there was no presidential treatment in seat 34c on the jetlite flight to mumbai but like all good flights i managed to walk off at my destination the world cup is over for us but it was a good time crap result but a good place to tour as entourage 16 th man is not a bad job if you can get it 5 comments posted in world cup 2011 who is this aaron finch character posted on january 17 2011 16 comments he has shot into the aussie ranks quicker than most and it s not without reason aaron finch is a talented likeable young cricketer who has a massive future in the game but the alan finch story is an entertaining one and i was next to him on a desperately ageing qantas plane to perth and spoke to him a little about his cricket aaron is not your run of the mill robotic cricketer that has come through the system he is not the perfect athlete and may have picked the wrong sport about 5 years ago why i think he could have won the last olympics as a track cyclist as he s got a massive arse and his legs would put most sprint cyclists to shame but there would be one problem olympic cycling may not have liked him he has a bit around the waist thanks to a steady diet of cans and darts with his mates at the local going through the system rather than be a yes man like so many trying to ply their trade in australian colours aaron has done it his own way he has a refreshing tell it like it is attitude most likely developed from his time growing up in country victoria recently he had a run in with former teammate nick jewell who from all reports was being a chop finch told jewell some home truths that no one else had the gall to say finch got whacked but rather than punch back alan stood his ground and kept firing back with only words and i like that in a cricketer a bit of niggle someone with honesty and who doesn t mind picking a fight so long as it helps the cause i enjoyed a recent t20 game at the g when nesser from qld bowled his first ball for the game finch smashed him for 4 and quickly walked down the track telling nesser he was going down today seriously how many times do you see that on tv these days not enough and i love it australian sport in general has become a bit of a nanny state no one can have their own point of view no one can have their own colour no one can sledge or make comment in the media unless it s promoting the next big game or goodwill cause my personal highlights of games are when things get nasty on the field when feelings come into a game finch brings that feeling into every game he plays he puts the fun back into cricket after all isn t that what we play the game for never one to back down aaron has always been the bad boy to the victorian cricket administrators right or wrong he s the guy who was first pointed at by the coach if the entire team was out the night before the game apparently it was always aaron s fault maybe the finger was pointed at him because he always told the truth rather than the standard practice of hiding away and blaming others however you have not come to know aaron because he is a good bloke at the end of the day it s about his cricket and oh how far he has come aaron finch has developed his game to become a shining light of australian cricket youth he is an outstanding team man with knowledge of the game beyond his years he has learned his craft under the best in the business in hodge mcdonald shipperd hussey and white and has been given ample opportunity to develop his game victorian coach greg shipperd thinks so as well picking up aaron for 300k in the recent ipl auction for delhi while most would not look too much into this result on face value shipperd put a lot of money into buying an unproven cricketer on the big stage shipperd is a good judge of talent and along with most who have seen him feel he has far bigger things to come since the auction finch debuted for australia and whacked them everywhere he looked un nerved on the field a confidence that he rightly developed over his last few seasons with victoria i ask him about his feelings in his first game and fortunately he was shitting bricks like everyone else would how far will aaron finch go time will tell but i m tipping he won t be playing much more for victoria instead donning the australian colours in all forms of the game for years to come yes he drinks yes he smokes yes he blows bubbles with his gum when a bowler is running in to bowl yes he picks a fight with his quick mouth on the field but he s a damn fine cricketer and will always be one of the first picked in my team 16 comments posted in from the field what s your opinion posted on january 14 2011 3 comments take our poll 3 comments posted in from the field bear becomes australian captain posted on january 7 2011 3 comments i had the pleasure today of sitting next to bear as he received the call he was the new australian captain he tried to act cool but i could see his mind turning trying to come to terms with what it actually meant to him how his life would change i can only imagine the thoughts we sat chewing the fat for about 20 minutes on the issue does he have a say at the selection table how much influence on the side does the captain actually have can he make changes is the style of australia s play dictated at all or even influenced by the captain or is he just the fall guy when things go pear shaped what happens when you are announced as the australian captain how does it actually happen what graces or perks are given to an australian captain the first thing i know is that qantas flight staff do not allow australian captains to receive the news over the phone during a safety briefing we sat on the tarmac in melbourne being told where the exits were we re sitting in one now susanna so thanks love but i think we already know where it is and no hilditch s call is not more important at least we know that cricket isn t the be all and end all in life but i think we already knew that we also know that the australian captain of t20 is not allowed to have the seat written on his boarding pass 11a and b were taken by two very respectable looking retirees who were not going to move bear has learned to pick his battles and this was not one of them many of the on field cricket specific answers will only play out over the next week and we can only hope that politics will not get in the way of his leadership style any australian dressing room has a lot of egos to fit in i know cameron is well liked in those circles and i trust that his appointment will be met as positive news by everyone on the team all i can hope is that cameron takes his captaincy style from victoria with him on the national team he is confident self assured and a natural born leader his cricket brain works faster that most and with victoria he has been in charge of a winning side for many years he knows how to win maybe his hair needs a little work and he can stop using obviously i suppose and i guess in interviews but fortunately at last check these were not pre requisites of the job who knows what s going to happen now probably the only thing that is certain at the moment is that cameron s fishing boat just gained a few extra fe...
