Have you met any famous players?
« on: July 29, 2008, 08:11:47 AM »

I met Owais Shah at Lords before a 20/20 and shook his hand and said goodluck.  I think he got a 50 in that game aswell lol!

Also met monty who said to my mate... "oh no not another autograph!"  :-[

I played with Freddie on the outfield before his Benefit match. I had a net with Oliver Newby (some of you may no him). Had a little chat with Warren Hegg. Had a training session with Carl Hooper. Cant think of anymore of the top of my head.
