Baz McCullum gets a nose job

... to fix the job Brett Lee's bouncer did on his schnozzle back in the first match of the first-ever BBL in 2011. Is Lee footing the bill?

After our thriller 32-30 win Saturday for @ums_rugby, had to skip training tonight to tend to an old injury to the snout courtesy of my mate @brettlee_58 handiwork back in @bbl debut season! Should be back on deck with the lads come Saturday hopefully.

Looking like a Blackcap

Imagine putting on a jersey and immediately looking like a cricketer? Straight up jealous here.

Looks bloody good on you mate, well done. Bit of 'Pete Fulton' at a quick glance. https://t.co/0LdmCCgSe4

Merv Hughes loves being a famous person

Ah the joys of being instantly recognisable.

Hay .... I gotta say there is nothing like going down to the shops and getting recognised-it's great for the ego ... 3 blokes walked passed me and one says " hey that's that old cricketer bloke... what's his name?"
Very uplifting good to start the week on a high!!
