Test Match Time is Here!

Kepler, Phillip, Andrew and I got chatting over a cup of coffee in the hotel foyer and Kepler dropped this lekker funny joke.

Van der Merwe is sitting in jail and this new guy arrives. Van reckons he was the ugliest guy he has ever seen. So as this really ugly guy walks past, old Van reckons “Hey mate, the robbery is over, you can take that mask off now!”

Day one on air went very well considering the past history of the van we are working in. Usually things catch alight or the power goes. The graphics guys had a bit of a hard time identifying the Bangladeshi players so hopefully it goes better on day two!


Athar is now known as Steven Segal because of the similarities in hairdo and not because of his ninja fighting skills! His hair is not quite as pulled back as Stevens but the little pony tail at the back is definitely there. So all day he’s been chirped over the comms to sort out his co-commentators with karate chops!




Neil just being Neil. Athar and Neil’s images were grabbed from the commentary camera. The commentators often have a jol with us down in the van with some rather strange sign language and we often give them stick over the comms so it really keeps the day ticking over.
