He seems permanently attached to that purple hat so we thought he needed to try a few more styles……..
Do you have a favourite new look?

One of ‘those’ months
I’ll be perfectly honest – its been a rubbish month so far for me, however maybe the stars are working in a peculiar way – TTO seems to be having a fantastic tournament which makes a change from the curse I usually send out by supporting him!
I feel bad for not keeping everyone up to date, there’s so much I should be blogging about! Here’s a very quick update:
IPL
I write this during the middle of the Delhi daredevils game sat in a train station! I haven’t managed to catch as many games as I would like to but I’ve been following the updates when I can but one thing I do know – this is the best IPL so far! There’s been some fantastic performances and of course I’m ridiculously happy that TTO seems to suit the colour purple! Why a purple hat anyway? Where’s the gold gone?
Proteas the rabbit
He has recovered from his ear surgery just fine – he’s even come out of it a grumpier and more demanding fur ball which I didn’t think was even possible!
Morkel the cat
He’s having a mixed month too. He’s not a fan of the rain or the cold and now spends his days eating, begging for more food and sleeping in the cat bed he wouldn’t touch for 6 months! He doesn’t seem to be my friend at the moment unless I provide food or warmth 
Crickette
We have a fabulous new online boutique through eBay and for every sale we donate 10% to the broad appeal. This is something we really want to grow over the summer – all ideas much appreciated and welcomed.
It’s not been the best month for me and my lack of tweeting is probably the biggest indicator but things are getting better and I’m putting more goals in place and trying to focus on what IS possible! I’ll try and keep you updated a little better!
Love you much xxxx LG

AB breaks many a fan girl heart!
It was the news most fan girls had hoped not to hear just yet! Yes ladies AB proposed to his beloved just 2 days ago.
*passes the tissues* to all the AB fan’s out there! I am truly sorry for your loss!
But in true Crickette style we are extremely happy for AB and his intended – although we wonder how many Eng v SA tickets are now being returned!
Interestingly, AB tweeted this morning, just minutes after Mrs Smith tweeted a link to a news article about her initial miscarriage. What a horrible thing to wake up to read – and especially as she didn’t realise but i’ll be honest I sat there counting the ‘months’ out on my fingers followed by a big ‘oh that’s why it was so quick’ and fought the urge to tweet the ladies with a big massive ‘we were right, we should go into detective work!’ but it simply wasn’t appropriate!
So much love to the Smiths and their unborn and we all cross our fingers and pray lil smith is born healthy & happy!
p.s too much information about the breasts mrs! Tends to happen when your pregnant, they’ve been on full show since, and think we could guess hubby was enjoying them!
March 30, 2012
AB tops the charts!
Not the musical kind but he is joint top of the ICC test batsmen rankings! The boy’s cricket has certainly flourished in the past few years but what has happened to his pop start career? Perhaps it has been put on hold for his captaincy but a few things worry me!
1. His website has gone – remember how we loved his diary updates and especially his videos?
2. This
He’s taken to singing in karaoke bars during his IPL stints and dragging poor DV along for the ride – all we need now is a Binga sample ‘you tell a girl….’
The above claim may not, well just isn’t, true but I think we’ve all seen that scenario before and its usually drunk at a karaoke bar after way too many mojitos and the guys seem to think they are Robbie Williams!

The Proteas Win, But Proteas Loses……..part of his ear
The South African team arrived back in their homeland today to what looked like a large crowd. I will also take this moment to mention TTO’s 6 wickets – oh yes, nicely done Morras! Any many thanks to by guardian angel Sipokazi who tweeted me a lovely picture of the man himself! That picture made the day a little more bareable!
Why was it so stressful? Little Proteas had to go to the vets for surgery - he had the tip of his ear removed because of a sore that wouldn’t heal
So I spent the majority of the day worrying about him, Morkel kept looking for him, and finally brought him home at 5pm. He’s got stitches and doesn’t seem to have lost much of his ear and when his fur grows back we may not even notice. However the poor thing is still recovering and hasn’t quite regained the use of his back legs hopefully he will be back to his old self in a couple of hours – but I did get him to say hi to everyone to prove he’s ok 
March 21, 2012
Rain rain go away……
It’s been one of those really annoying weeks so far!
Some bad news about some family friends, not utilising my first week off because now the car is being fixed until Saturday morning, feeling extremely fat after relaxing the diet to extremes for birth month and now it seems the next NZ v SA test is facing some rainy opposition!
I will also add that my annual leave wine bottle count is now on 4 oopsie

Warwickshire Bears Q+A – Boyd Rankin!
Boyd Rankin, troubling the opposition with his pace and bounce… thankfully we have him within the Warwickshire setup. Gearing up for another successful season in 2012, Rankin will definitely be a hit for the Bears, especially in the 4-day game. So what did the fans have to ask Rankin in his Q+A…

Warwickshire Bears Q+A – Keith Barker!
Keith Barker was under the spotlight for yesterday’s question and answer session with the Warwickshire Bear fans. Once again it was very successful, as an array of questions saw some entertaining answers from the Bears’ all-rounder. Coming towards the end of the Q+A week, we have Boyd Rankin and Laurie Evans remaining, so tune in for all the latest regarding their session. But for now, here is what Barks had to say…
Peter Lowe
Hi Keith how are you liking your time at Edgbaston?

Loving it at the moment, things been going well. Hopefully we have a successful season.
Mark Adkins
How did it feel when you scored your maiden 1st class ton and none of the Durham players (bar 1) applauded your achievement?

To play and perform in as many games as possible in all forms of cricket.

Keith Barker
It was a shock to the system for the first year but gradually getting easier. But not for the shins though.

Do you have any superstitions?
Keith Barker
No not really. Just try to make sure I’m not rushing around before a game, like to take my time.

Because pro cricket was something I was a bit more natural at, football I had to work harder to be average.

So here is what happened when Darren was quizzed by the fans themselves, as he looks forward to another successful season ahead…
WarwickshireCCCFans

Darren Maddy
I’ve loved every day of it so far and looking forward to many more!

Too many to mention over the years but now it’s @tpolamalu (Troy Polamalu) who plays for Steelers
Val Blundell
Does criticism from members upset yourself & the team or do you take it in your strides?
Darren Maddy
It can do at times when it’s undeserved, but I/we try to use it as motivation
Rikki Clarke
Would you take averaging 45 every innings for a season? Knowing you will have no 50s or 100s to your name.
