For the people out there who know me, I love cricket. It's something that Lucy has had to live with since we met. I blame this on my father who being a POM, instilled the love of this great game into me at an early age. Like all Aussies, we had many a backyard cricket match with the old six and out or one handed off of rebounds. Those were the days!

Last year in March, we happened to find ourselves in Bangladesh for the very first away series between Bangers and Aus. Yes, we were there when the mighty mullet, Jason Gillespie, without the mullet, scored his monumental 201 going past such people as Mark and Steve Waugh and the legend himself, David Boon.

During the course of these two tests, a couple of the punters who were there, wrote a couple of match reports about these matches. They also were checking out all of our photos as apparently, there was a rumour going around that a book was going to be released on all of the test matches from 2005/2006. I myself, even received an email from the author as he had seen my photos on this very blog and liked some of them. I sent him a copy of the originals, and never thought anything more of it.

Being a cricket lover, I was trawling through Amazon the otherday, and I noticed a book about cricket tests from 2005/2006. Having never heard anything else from the author, I presumed my photos had not made the cut. I bought the book anyway. It arrived this morning and there they were, two photos, one by Lucy and one by me. We both even had our names in the book as an acknowledgment. Not much, but I have now received my second minute of fame !!!

So, with that, I have now seen two minutes of fame, only thirteen more to go !!!!!
