Doris’s predictions;

“I see a big red bus. It is surrounded by thousands, no tens of thousands of people. The people are cheering and shouting. On top of the bus there are happy people, very happy people, wait….yes I see them now, they are the Bangladesh cricket team”

“I see men sitting at a big table looking very serious. They are all pointing at one man and calling him bad names. He is a little man with a worried expression but I can’t quite make out his name….Gunter….no…Bunter….no…...Punter…that’s it”

“I see some English people cheering, they are drinking lots of beer and making up some songs, I think I can hear something……ooh that’s not very nice dear, and it certainly doesn’t rhyme with Bangladesh.”

“I see a quaint game of club cricket way out in some little Australian suburb. I don’t recognise any of the players, they are all a little overweight and slightly old. Oh hang on, there’s a player I recognise, it’s that nice young man Damien Martyn, what’s he doing there?”

“I see three sheep…oops, sorry, wrong vision”

“I see an advertisement in the paper, it looks like a job advertisement, is it for a bus driver……no….coach driver…..no…coach, that’s it, Australian cricket coach”

“Oooh this is sad. It looks like someone has passed away. It is a funeral I’m sure. I see everyone dressed in black and they do look very sad. It looks like the person that passed away was a Mr Oz Cricket, strange name indeed. I wonder if that’s bails they’re burning at the wake?”

So Aunt Doris, from all your family, we are sorry for all those years of doubting, name calling and making you eat your dinner in the garage with Spot. It seems that you are indeed, a genuinely talented psychic phenomenon.

Hey Chris

It's infectious - I just 'saw' something! A hotel room in Dhaka....Lee trying desperately to contact his 'Six and Out' mates..all other Australian cricketers are trying to master 'Ring of Fire'......Ponting missing from the gathering...wait I see him....he sits in front of a PC in the adjoining room....oh my God he is keying in his profile on monster.com!

I am a bangladeshi, and have stitched my fingers crossed.

If it actually happens, chris, I am sorry, seriously.

But oh man if it happens....

If they can do it in a one day international then who knows.....although as I write it doesn't look too promising.

Hmmm, blame Aunt Doris. In case Bangla fail to pull it off, don't forget to cancel that $1 million yearlong world tour plan you assigned to Cox and Kings on Monday banking on the bet you placed after the get together.
