Chuck it to me...

This is definitely off-topic for me and this blog but I am pretty sure I know who has Gilchrist's ball. When and if that person decides to do the right thing, you will be the first to know.

Is there any actual evidence? Or do you just know someone who owns a cricket ball? And if so, is it one of your kids?

Botheration - who cares? I love the idea that thousands of Australians are falsely reporting their ownership of said ball.

Because I'm sure Adam Gilchrist's manager has nothing better to do.

Botheration, my kids don't have cricket balls. Ballet outfits - yes. Sporting equipment - no.

Botheration & Gigglewick

OK, I am serious. I honestly know who has the ball. The person is keeping it because he/she knows it is THE ball and that's all that matters to him/her.

your friend should give the ball back because thats what gilchrist wants so they shoud do it

You're sitting on something big here. Assuming this is an actual friend of yours, and not an "I... um... I mean my friend has a problem maintaining his erection" type of friend, then I would advice your friend to weigh up the advantages of just having said ball, which he or she is never going to be able to really display or show off about, with the very real possibility of sharing in Gilly's gratitude and largesse and riches and cricketing memorabilia should he/she choose to return the ball. (Although admittedly the amount of time the ball's been missing is a bit suss – perhaps your friend could claim it was still in the air.)

Alternatively he/she should just keep it. Up to he/she. I've always rather liked Gilly - and he does want it – but on the other hand if he wanted it so much why did he deliberately bat it away from him?

In other news, can I request a post on Librarians. I think I like it, but I need you to confirm that.

Botheration my "friend" is actually a real one and apparently the ball has been returned although said friend is not answering his/her mobile or responding to texts so perhaps after "returning" the ball he/she got whacked?

I do enjoy your angle, of course if Gilly wanted to keep it he should have just shoved it in his pocket. Maybe I should start a facebook group with sage advice for cricketers? We could be joint masters of course.

Apologies but I can't do The Librarians, I tried it for two weeks but then found that I actually liked Sudoku better.
