I love cricket!! Tests or one-day matches, it doesn't really matter... I'll watch it even if it's not Australia. We get quite a few overseas matches shown on Foxtel, like the current India vs England series.

I also play Cricket 2002 on PS2.... a totally awesome game!! The best cricket game around at the moment!!

Obsessively.

I play every weekend...until this season the only time I had missed a game in 8 years was when I was overseas. (Bloody weddings...why do people want to get married on Saturdays in summer?)

Watch it every chance I get; drives girlfriend nuts. She also knows when I've been in her car because the radio's on AM.

I have always wanted to ask this. How do you cope with 40 degree days? Or even 35 degree days? I could not cope, and just want to know how you do.

I don't know if I can tell you 'how' I cope, I just do.

Weather doesn't usually bother me that much, hot or cold, except I have a little bit of trouble sleeping when it's really hot.

But playing cricket, I find I have plenty of stamina in the heat, and often get a lot of overs on really hot days when the allegedly fit guys can't take it.

The other thing I do is take a cold shower between sessions or innings.
