Shaun Udal: Shane Warne once took 7-50 after a sleepless night in Knightsbridge
I used to live about 40 minutes away from Southampton in Basingstoke, so I used to stay with Warney sometimes. During a game against Middlesex, I asked if I could stay at his place.
We went to an Italian restaurant in Southampton High St, his phone rang as it always did, he said 'hello! there's two of you? When? Where?" And he told me, 'You're on your own tonight, I'm going off to Knightsbridge to see a couple of friends.'
He bought a bottle of vodka and a bottle of champagne from the restaurant and buggered off. He didn't even give me a lift; I had to walk home.
The next morning, I go into his room and it's empty. No car outside, no Warney, no women in the bed. I try him at 7:30, then it gets to 8:30 and I'm thinking 'this is trouble now'.
I get to the ground, the coach Paul Terry asks where he is, and I don't know. At 9:20am I get a call: 'Shags, morning mate. I'm just coming out of Knightsbridge.' I told him we had to win the game!
Ten to eleven, the screeching wheels of a BMW come into the car park. He's got a Red Bull in one hand and a cigarette in the other. He says, 'Give me two minutes lads, it's me and Shaggy bowling. Which end do you want?'
I was trying to cover for him and asked where he had been. He just said, 'Doesn't matter, I'll tell you later.' You look in the scorebook: 37 overs, 7 for 50. He didn't sleep a wink all night!
But the next day in the News of the World, there was a picture of him in a pair of Playboy underpants. After the match, we got into the huddle and he just went, 'Easy game.'
Shaun Udal: I found out I had Parkinson's disease through a letter from the NHS
I started to lose feeling in my fingers during my last season at Middlesex. I struggled to do my buttons up and tie my laces.
I fell down the stairs at work from top to bottom and stayed in the hospital for a week, but they still couldn't find out what it was. Seven or eight weeks later, just before I was 50, I got a letter from the NHS saying I had early-onset Parkinson's.
There was no call from a doctor, no call from a specialist. The letter just said someone would be in touch in the next six months to discuss my next move. I was devastated. I wondered if I was going to be in a wheelchair."
Shaun Udal: England expect too much of Shoaib Bashir, he needs two more years in county cricket
I don't think England see enough of their spinners. They took Shoaib Bashir, and he's played more Test matches than first-class games. I think he just needs two years in county cricket to learn his style and his game.
It's expecting too much of a young lad who's still learning. I wasn't a particularly good bowler until I was about 30 or 31. Mason Crane starting to come good because he's been believed in and he's landing it properly.
