Hi ya guys, had a great day out today watching England vs New South Wales in a Cricket match. We got up about 8o'clock (how early's that for us boys) and headed down to sydney cricket ground because we had heard a rumour that Freddy Flintoff and the boys were in town to play a 3 day walm up test...

As you can see from the photos the rumour were true, as we turned into the ground their they were the whole gang practising in the nets. We even got the change to have a chat with a few of them, including my new best friends Straussy (Andrew Strauss) and Cooky (Alistair Cook) as i call them!

It turned out to be a great dayout even though the match ended in a draw and i got sunburn ouch by the way! we endulged in the fines food and drink Sydeny has to offer (well a hot dog and a pint of larger) and joined in with the barmy army singing the aussie fans out of the ground. If this is a sign of things to come they dont stand a chance.....
