Ol' Stuey

The host of uncorked, Stuart MacGill, has decided to put aside his day job for a while on concentrate on his part time hobby cricket.

What should Australia expect from this ever widening wrist spinner with the aloof smirk who annunciates his words correctly.

He has a knee which can never be fixed.

Earlier this year he played hide and seek with administracrats to film his show.

He is returning from wrist surgery that usually middle aged virginal men have.

And possibly the most important thing about Stuey MacGill is he now happy.

So what can Australia expect of this newer old version of Stuey?

Well sooner rather than later he will celebrate a wicket like he has just gutted a pig, with a spork.

His next wicket will not be celebrated at all, and he will look down at ayone who does celebrate it.

At times he will bowl half trackers and full tosses, he will mix them up with the odd unplayable delivery.

He will bowl a lot of balls short and wide of off stump, some of which will have pitched on the stumps.

When he bats he will miss the ball a lot, back away, scoop the ball, smile at his crapness with the stick and go out.

He will run as fast as he can after balls, while being overtaken by Roy jogging.

Balls that your mother could stop will go through him from time to time.

When he does stop a hard ball, he will have that look that every middle aged dude who does something good on a reality show has.

He will look angry a lot.

He will look mildly amused a lot.

In general, being 37, fatter and more injured than before really won’t change Stuart MacGill on the field.

As he has played like an old unfit dude his whole career....
