However,

"I didn't have any kit. Luckily I'd put some pants in my bag to protect my bats on the flight home (Yes, there are several things funny about that statement alone) and I managed to steal a shirt from Jacques (suggesting that Jacques wouldn't just lend him one), and I have a pullover from Harry with a big hamburger stain on it. (Harris so drops food on his clothing) Morne was in there helping me dress, putting my thigh pad on and everything."

Graeme, I love you. Also, Whilst Graeme doesn't say it, I'm absolutely certain a box is harder to put in place with no hands than a thigh pad.

Seriously, why couldn't *that* South African have emigrated?

Also the fact that he had no intention of batting but he'd still bought his *bat*. That suggests that he just travels round with it if he's going to bat or not.

His bats are clearly hand luggage, he won't let them go in the hold. They get to use the same seat as the trophy.

That's true. I wonder if they've booked a special seat for the trophy or if someone's going to have to go and sit in economy.

There's no way in hell Graeme's letting the Trophy go economy.

There's not a chance of Graeme letting that trohpy out of his sight for the next six weeks. There wouldn't have been a chance of him letting it out of his grasp, but someone's going to have to carry it around for him.
