cricket with balls

According to world renowned sports writer Nigel Henderson, who wrote, “If It Was Raining Palaces, I’d Get Hit By The Dunny Door” and “Choke”, I am comparable with Shaun SOS Marsh.

Shaun Marsh (see Fanfare for a common man) may be being unfairly overlooked by Australia’s selectors, but there is another Aussie that people should be paying attention to. His name, apparently, is JRod.

My name is Jrod, apparently.

But I am not just like Shaun Marsh in the fact I haven’t been called up to the majors.

We have other things in common.

Both of our fathers were legends.

Swampy, opening the batting for Australia.

Both of our fathers were successful coaches.

Swampy, for Australia.

PK, for Campbellfield under 14′s, and under 16′s.

Shaun is Australian.

I am Australian.

Shaun Marsh likes cricket.

I like cricket.
