Hello peeps, it’s been a long time since I sent you one of my diary entries but I was waiting to bat for nearly two days whilst the warm-up act of Straussy, Cooky and Trotty overstayed their welcome at the crease and the main man was stuck with his pads on in the pavilion.
Here are my reflections on the drawn match at The Gabba:
One-nil to KP
Those cunning Aussies tried to get me by picking a left-arm spinner, but did it phase KP? No way, mate. I think I showed that Xavier Doherty who’s boss. I didn’t get out to him anyway. Shame about that waft outside off-stump to Siddle, but you can’t win them all.
On Mitchell’s moustache
Ha ha! If you thought my moustache was bad, what about Mitchell’s? It certainly didn’t help him bowl better, did it? Or bat better. Or even catch better. Ha ha!
On Andy Flower’s mole
Gee, we were shocked that Andy had to have something removed from his face during the Test in Brisbane. I didn’t quite understand what it was, but I am bloody worried that I may need an operation to remove my moustache now.
On Christmas
I'm really excited as today is the 1st December and I got to open the first window on my Advent Calendar. Can you guess what the picture was? Yes, that's right - a picture of me!
On Adelaide
I’ve got happy memories of the Adelaide Oval after scoring 158 four years ago. Gee, me and Colly really rubbed their noses in it didn’t we? Did we win that match? Or perhaps it was a draw.
On Doug Bollinger
I hear Mitchell might be getting the flick from the Aussie side instead of some bloke that wears a toupee. I think he is called Doug Perignon or something. Jessica sent me a couple of pictures of him - one in cricket gear and the other in civvies. Is he really a cricketer? Must dash, peeps, I’ve got a net session…
