Have you got a story about you and a sporting star, Sportreview want to know all about it.
Here is mine.
Many a year ago I was working in a call centre.
At 2am in the morning I received a call, I went into robot mode and answered.
At the other end of the line I heard.
“Hi I’m Damien Martyn”.
“How can I help you Mr Martyn?”
“Yeah Damien Martyn, the cricketer”.
“Ok Mr Martyn, how can I help you?”
“Oh I just wanna change my flight”.
“Do you have any of your flight details?”
“I don’t know, um Melbourne to Sydney tomorrow arvo”.
“What time?”
“I don’t know mate, can’t you find it?”
“I just need more details Mr Martyn”.
“Oh shit, look, I’ll call back”.
Two minutes later I get a call from a Cricket Australia official.
“Hi there, (yawn) just calling up to change a flight for Damien Martyn, Melbourne to Sydney at 1430 this afternoon”.

Thanks Jrod – OK if I cut nn paste over onto the ‘pedia?
Sigh, sadly no Marto story on this end. I only have two – Bruce Yardley once told me I had a great on drive, when visiting my batting coach while I was having a net and considering my batting skills the man is no great judge. The other was JL but I suppose it doesnt count as it was a book signing – and yes I know I actually own one of Justins’ books and I will be going to hell
when did your confidentiality clause expire J?
RI, Ofcourse it’s all yours.
DT, in a hand basket.
A, it’s not like it’s an Aaron Hamill story.
