39 years ago, a young cricket fan met the touring England Cricket team at a meet and greet in an Adelaide shopping centre, he was given a signed pair of 'keepers gloves by the reserve 'keeper, David Bairstow - who was Jonny's father. I didn't know, but Bairstow Snr took his own life when Jonny was only 8.

This morning, the fan and Jonny met up with an emotional Jonny being gifted the gloves.

Full story, and recording of the interview with the generous fan done during the cricket call, is here

what a lovely story. Thanks for that, GJ

It is official Kohli married to Anushka shama an Bollywood actress.
Surprised it was low key, but then again Kohli and anushka didn’t like the press surrounding them, they broke up in 2014 because the press basically said it was because of anushka that Kohli didn’t score runs in England.

This article itself may be partial, but sorry to hear Mike Hussey impugned. As a player, he was one of those whose excellence crossed borders without resentment. Hope he doesn't turn out to be a Haydos style blowhard.

Yes. The article seems in danger of eating itself.

the series seems to have moved a long way from the story at the top of this page.

with all the knackers going on, it is another reason to be grateful that the series is passing me by without my being able to interact with it in any meaningful way
