Posted January 15, 200817 yr http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23058803-2,00.html Hollywood stars face spin king January 16, 2008 06:38am SCREEN superstar Jude Law and pop prince Robbie Williams will be among the high-profile celebrities pulling on the pads at the Australia versus England Hollywood Ashes on Sunday. The British pin-ups have agreed to play for England in the inaugural 20-20 cricket match in Los Angeles and will compete against an Australian team which will include retired legends Shane Warne and Steve Waugh. The game is part of the annual G'day USA event, a two-week tourism push to promote Australia in the US. :blink: :blink: :blink:
January 15, 200817 yr I wish that could be true..I love cricket and especially the 20 x 20..great fun. Somehow I can't see Robbie doing it, although he could surprise me, he said he hates cricket. I'd love to go to any 20 x 20 match, although its pretty much over before its began, the 50 over game is great too. I'd go even if there wasn't a celeb in sight.
January 15, 200817 yr Author It's strange there has been no mention of this cricket match anywhere else. My immediate reaction was that maybe they meant Robin Williams. But then Robin is hardly likely to be playing for England. :huh:
January 15, 200817 yr How odd indeed. And it comes from Australia, strange how it would'nt have been mentioned elsewhere. Although I supose it is possible, but Rob has said he hates Cricket did'nt he? :lol:
January 15, 200817 yr Author I have an image of him standing at the crease (or whatever it's called) wearing his bobble hat, sunglasses and orange puffa jacket. Smoking a fag or ten. :lol:
January 16, 200817 yr :o Am just gonna say, Jude Law + Robbie Williams = Heaven :wub: I'm with you Mayte...YUMMERZ!!!
January 16, 200817 yr Rob always looks good in anything :wub: or nothing :wub: :wub: I'm falling in love with him all over again :( :lol:
January 16, 200817 yr Author He could wear the white trousers from his Radio video. But then those cricket people rub balls on their trousers (so to speak -_- ) and I wouldn't want his good Radio trousers to get all stained.
January 16, 200817 yr Author Another report. Still doubt he'll turn up though. -_- http://www.dreamcricket.com/dreamcricket/n...8353&ntid=4 Hollywood stars, cricket legends to play in Hollywood Ashes by Dreamcricket USA Jan 15, 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hollywood Ashes - Steve Waugh's Aussies versus Robert Key's English On Sunday, January 20th, Los Angeles’ Woodley Park will host the first edition of Hollywood Ashes Twenty20, an event that is looking to become an annual fixture between England and Australia.

January 17, 200817 yr He could wear the white trousers from his Radio video. But then those cricket people rub balls on their trousers (so to speak -_- ) and I wouldn't want his good Radio trousers to get all stained. Rubbing balls ?! Well then Rob would fit right in :rofl:
January 17, 200817 yr Author Yes :o They're always rubbing balls. Anyway, I don't know a thing about cricket. It's a real minority sport in Scotland. But I see clips of it on telly and it looks totally :zzz: (Sorry for offending all cricket lovers :P )
January 19, 200817 yr Author Russell Crowe captains cricket sideArticle from: Sunday Herald SunFont size: Decrease Increase Email article: Email Print article: Print Glenn Milne http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,2...250-662,00.html January 20, 2008 12:00am FORGET Gladiator. Russell Crowe will pad up for the Colosseum clash of his life tomorrow after agreeing to captain a cricket match against old enemy the Poms in Los Angeles. Crowe is tipped to be joined in the celebrity assault on the English team - billed as the "battle for the Hollywood Ashes" - by Mel Gibson. They will have back-up from former Test greats Steve Waugh and Mike Whitney, who have also donated their services as part of the G'day USA program promoting Australia. At a Paramount Studios preview of Australian short films last night, the rumour mill was in overdrive with suggestions that Sir Mick Jagger and Robbie Williams might pad up for the Old Dart. But Jude Law, who had agreed to face Crowe as opposing captain, has "walked", confirmed as a scratching. The Brits were keeping their line-up under close cover, admitting only that quick Simon Jones and Test batsman Robert Key would take to the pitch at Woodley Playing Fields in San Fernando Valley. :whistle:
January 19, 200817 yr oh hush!! Can't beat a bit of Freddie's arse in tight whites :kink: Is why God gave me a direct tram line to Old Trafford :kink:
