Would have been late 90’s. maybe early noughties
I had 2 partners in Pakistan, Sales Manager of the biggest was an ex 1st class cricketer for Lahore. He suggested doing a corporate event, booked a VVIP box. Other client complained, so with 2 ODI’s there I did a game with each. Stayed in the same hotel with the players. met Shoaib Akthar (again) and after a few moments he remembered my epic 42 retired hurt against him for the old Darjeeling 1st X1. (Still cannot believe he was so accurate as to be able to bowl every ball at the middle of my bat!)

This was Liam Plunketts debut I think.

Also did a Test match there, that was epic. Sat in Javed Miandad’s office while match fixing shit was going down,


sat in the Sky Commentary box and had a cup of tea and discussed Coombe Bissett Cricket Club with Musharef then PM. Surreal.

We also got to walk round the ground inside the barricades, and Darren Gough took a photo of us leaning on our APC advert at Square Leg while Sky showed us and our mobiles beeped with mates watching back home going wtf!

Those were the days

It’s the box of tissues on his desk that ultimately led to Phil getting the call from HR.

If HR had known what we were doing on expenses, Tissues would have been the last of it…

I’ve seen vintage photos which confirm this irrefutable fact, but don’t think I can post them here. :flushed::flushed:

Should have added “on the head” to prevent any confusion or misunderstanding!
