All this stuff took place last tuesday and thursday. I turned up for nets and there were Pakistan; training at the Walker. White balls disappeared. Not mine though. I sat out Afridi’s onslaught. I think the best bit was talking to Pakistan’s bowling coach about my third team dobbers not knowing who the hell he was. All wavy black hair, he looked like a bollywood star. So he ran up, put it on a length where you couldn’t get under it as they say. Then it all came back to me, “Aren’t you Aaqib Javed mate?”
The Wanderers game on the 4th was an aussie and saffie fest. Wanderers got stuffed last year and we only had 8 players. Seeking revenge they came with every Aussie, Saffie, Kiwi league pro they could find. On the day I was one of 5 English cricketers out of 22 and I’m not english ; learned my cricket here though. Country’s going to pot. I batted with some Aussie under 19 player called Toddy who was insane. He had an imaginary friend who he ‘talked’ to while he was batting, fielding and eating. Lovely fella. He got a very easy 90.
