Top bloke, so much nicer than a "celebrity" beckham or stokes or pieterson. Local to me and ive known his wife for years, whos sheep he helps lamb, he hasn't come from farming, unbelievable how he handled the English press as he is a quiet shy guy. Heard agnew slate him for being lambing so soon before series yet he played in warm up games, and failed as well as everyone else, not delivered in a while, think this series or definitely summer series will be his last, fair play and credit to him in scoring something like 6th 10th highest number of test runs ever, and recall more than Tendulkar at same age. We have so few decent sportsman, give them a break when we do have them
I stood next to him last year when buying mule gimmer lambs out of Skipton and he seamed a really nice chap, I just seamed funny to me that people can even blame sheep on cricket. I have blamed sheep for every failing (school and college) and every missed event in the last 10 years (usually going to in-laws!!)

Dad used to arrange a bit of an ease-up during lambing so we could all watch the V8s at Mount Panorama on TV, whole day as a family with the volume turned up 
Plates rattling in the china cabinet
Simple as pulling out the rams for a few days on the right date to "change their crayons, boyo" I laughed when I got a bit older and he told me what that was all about
He made a very easy "job" of being a farmer!

On the radio yesterday they where blaming England's dismal performance batting against New Zealand on Cooke lambing his sheep and not having time to prepare. Its just the sort of excuse I use for everything!! I think we can blame everything that goes wrong in the world on sheep (and sometimes dogs!!)
