on tour to worcestershire in 2003 we went to watch worcester vs. somerset and we took the piss out of gareth batty (his dad is a coach where we live) and we were talking to jamie cox (now and aussie selector) as we had our aussie pro with us who had played with him for tasmania.

we went to old trafford test in 2007 and were in members pavilion and spoke to jimmy adams, and the england players went past going for there lunch and this guy who i play with shouted to vaughan that we were from yorkshire and had come to manchester on a 'fredalo' on the canal, pietersen pissed himself when that got shouted out

I've met Michael Atherton and got his autograph (but lost it) at lords. He didnt have much time to speak to anyone becasue I think he was going to do an interview.

Have met just about all the durham team and got the autographs and that plus geoff cook, steven finn. Then some commentators like ian ward was round the back of the riverside at the media bit having a fag so got nasser, nick knight and bumble to come and talk to us. Only one who wouldnt was bob willis who was a right miserable (No Swearing Please) who gave me some very very nice words at the end

also saw monty and colly in the metro centre who seemed canny. Harmy is probably the most genuine and just nicest person ive met, as were ian ward and phil mustard.

Had a good chat with Plunkett when he was just breaking into the durham team 5-6 years ago when i had to go to a presentation with the school, he was swinging a bat that some fella called mark butcher used to get 173 n.o vs the aus, was lush but was bit knackered so for some reason plunkett had it
