Any funny stories at MCC: Watching Rob Hustler step into the mud in the bunker on 17^th when it was a construction site and going up to his knees in mud. He obviously thought he had stepped into a soft spot because he proceeded to step in further with his other leg and ended up to his knees in mud of both legs. After 10 minutes and with ruined shoes he chose to abandon the ball….

The only other funny story was Ron Taylor refusing to wear the ‘bunny ears’.

Finish this sentence, “I love coming to Monash because….I really need the coaching I get from APD (Andrew Pritchard- Davies).
