VODAFONE ASHES SERIES TOUR 2010/11
Tour Celebrity and Hosts

Barring any playing commitments Paul will be joining LWTL in Australia in 2010 for the 5th test in Sydney. He made his first class debut in 1989 with Leicestershire and won two championship titles with them in 1996 & 1998. Leaving in 2000 to play for Kent, he returned to Leicestershire in 2003 and became the club captain in August 2007.Born 21 October 1970, the 38 year old wicket keeper and left-handed batsmen is known for his energy and enthusiasm behind the stumps along with his inventive batting technique. He is one of the best players of the reverse sweep in the county game (and possibly world cricket) and he is one of the few keepers to leave the stumps and dive in front of the ball when opposing batsmen attempt the reverse stroke. His drive for international recognition was rewarded when he was drafted into the England one-day side in Australia in 2006-07 and he did well enough to hold on to his place for the World Cup immediately afterwards.

Patrick Arnold
Started Living With The Lions in 2000 in order to follow his passion for rugby and cricket. Played cricket at school and for Wimbledon CC and the MCC, only ever dreamt of playing for England so started the company to follow them instead!

Brett Lingley
Brett struggles to hide the fact that he is a Protea supporter but will be right behind England in Australia. This is his second Ashes tour and he cannot wait to get back there for the sun, banter, food and to watch the greatest rivalry in test match cricket unfold.

Jo Overy
First to admit she didn’t know too much about cricket until she joined Living With The Lions but following a 2 week tour to Australia in 2006 for the Ashes she is now the expert. She is happy to answer any questions about the state of the wicket or declaration strategies...

Rachel Barber
Rachel has travelled extensively to most major test match venues and has been lucky enough to travel to Australia on the last 4 Ashes series. She enjoys watching cricket, preferably while sitting in the sun. Melbourne is her favourite city in the world and she can’t wait to return.

David Bulmer
David is a self confessed sports nut and likes nothing more than watching (and talking) about sport. See if you can catch him out with your trivia - his knowledge is extensive!
