A page from Shane's notebook

Dear Mr Notebooky - it's me Shane,

I know at some stage I might be the one making the captaincy decisions for Australia (no, really) and I'm a bit worried, because I am not very smart. Here are some things I might want to do/think about just in case I am captain one day:

  • Learn to keep an eye on what is going on all around the game, rather than just thinking about what I'm doing. This might mean being able to think about more than one thing at a time. Might need to see doctor about this.
  • Borrow some of Pup's hair products, actually learn how to use them and practice throwing my things at TV sets.
  • Get used to handing over the Ashes urn (I will probably have to do this a lot if I'm captain).
  • Find that little known picture book "The rules of cricket in 20 easy to understand pictures" - or, alternatively, learn to read.
  • Beg Mr Hilditch to pretty please let me be captain one day. Buy gifts if necessary (that usually works).
Thanks, Pup, for helping me write this. I promise I will get better at words.

Honest.

Ohh ohh I would so love if Watto became the captain... Oh god. I would ... so love it!!!
The images you picked are snapshots from a past that seems so far away that they make you laugh. He is a mature brunette now, you know :D

You know, I actually think he might make a decent captain one day but everyone must realise I can't resist a chance to make fun of him. The pictures aren't *that* old, but those ones of the hair were just too funny to leave off. He looks like an idiot.

Feel free to link me to his new brunette locks, though. I hadn't noticed them, but I am mildly curious.

Well since these laughable highlights are gone he looks more like sauerkraut, which is almost brunette compared to the blinding Playboy-bunny blond before

He can borrow Punter's Captaincy for Idiots.

That might help. Then again it hasn't helped Punter much.

It would be hilarious if he became skipper.

It would just be too, too weird though.

He'll end up PM at this rate.

Until he has a bad spell and then no one will like him again. But fear not, for I will always be here to make of him no matter what.
