<Sorry bout not sending this earlier, I slept until 3pm on Sunday�>

Dear Stephen Fleming,

12:27am
Oooh aren�t I slack, not writing to you until half time? Though I feel I have an excuse � staying out until 2am last night, drinking coffee with the guy who should be my boyfriend (he just doesn�t know it yet�)
As the famous wrap-up speech one went ��so basically�yeah� *nod nod*� here are my random observations, none of witch have any relevance or correlation to anything whatsoever.

- After the last three overs you earned the right to go absolutely psycho. So go on, go nuts

- I may be getting used to your sunglasses! Oh� wait� nah, I still think they look bloody ridiculous

- Didn�t Cairnsy bowl well? Looked happy as a clam too.

- It must be terribly ignominious as a wicketkeeper to be picked up by somebody as Cairns did to McCullum. Looked awfully sweet though.

- I saw three pictures in the DomPost of Shaun Pollock's heart breaking and I felt SOOOOO guilty. All the girls who saw it wanted to hug him. All the boys who saw it called him a fag.

- Brendon must have heard my call for more volume because he talked a lot. �Good bowling H� rang out a great deal. All very encouraging.

- runouts were all very stylish

-  Don�t mess this up�

Sorry Stephen� I fell asleep�.

3:56am
Uh�. Stephen, your gonna crunch those field glasses in a minute. Relax, matey potatey, relax.

4:20am
You know, I've discovered something � you feel more tired lying than sitting. Also when your really really tired things start spinning. Like they are now.

- I heard some nasty  nasty things at the rugby on Friday. (Hurricanes Versus Stormers) like �you may be in the super 12, but you�ll never be in the super 6� and  (when 10 points behind) �your still nine points behind, at least by Shaun Pollocks maths� mean, funny as hell, but mean. Oh well I�m just glad the Hurricanes finally won!


4:29am
Dang�
Cairnsy gets a six, then gets out. Now we gotta go hell for leather.
Chris Cairns, out 4:29am runs 54
Chris Harris, in 4:29am

Does Nathan have nine lives or something?

4:49am
Whew, were there. And I�m stoked. Didn�t Nathan do well!! Another kiwi century. Great stuff. Please pass on my congratulations.

Next comes the Trans Tasman clash. Australia (boo, hiss). You know, if there�s any team who could beat them, its you guys. And ill be here to watch, and see odd things, and yell at the telly. And to be proud of everything you do.

Good Luck, Stephen Fleming

Yours in Cricket,
Puppet.

(Letter finished 4:58am, game over)
