Have you met any famous players?
Got this idea off Big Footy. Have you guys met any famous players? If so, were they nice or absolute pricks?
Ponting - Haven't actually met him, but my aunty - who is a stewardess - got his autograph for me when he was flying somewhere with the team, I reckon that's pretty good of him to do it when he could easily of said no.
Brad Hodge - Lol, I've heard he can be a bit of a tool at time like chucking all his equipment everywhere and throwing pizza at the wall when he goes out cheaply. I met him at an ACC clinic and he was pretty funny, seemed maybe a bit up himself but it was good of him to come over to our match (when there was so many other matches and drills there) and just sign our stuff. He signed my thigh guard, I love it heaps! This was around the time Hodge was in either the test or ODI side and a guy said "Hodgey why aren't you getting a bowl for Aus, you should be!" and he replied "Yeh I know, bloody Ponting won't let me!" (OK he might not of said bloody but something along the lines of that sentence)
Cam White - Also met him at the ACC clinic. He just looked so calm, rocked up in thongs when it was like 10 in the morning and bloody cold as. Seemed pretty nice and stayed there for quite a while which was very good of him.
Dean Jones - Once again at the ACC clinic. He was just there to get a picture taken with everyone (and that was a lot of people), but he stopped to chat to everyone about what club they play for, and he remembered playing against my club xD, so yeh, apart from his racist comments a few years back I have quite a bit of respect for him.
Allan Wise - He's a Victorian fast bowler. I was at the Victoria v Someone Pura Cup grand final aaggggesss ago and him and another Vic player came out when Victoria were batting and just signed autographs.
Kevin Pieterson - I have great respect for him. At the MCG ashes test 2 years ago he signed about 150 autographs when he could easily of signed none. A kid came up to him and asked for his autograph, and the security guard said "no" but KP just shrugged him off and signed it anyway. Then people from everywhere flocked to him and he signed soooo many.
