Pat Cummins exposes Jeremy Clarkson's wild act at 10am after revealing chat with host on his hit farm TV show
Pat Cummins has revealed details of his lively visit to Jeremy Clarkson's farm where he not only tested out the TV star's new business idea, but also watched him skol a beer at 10 in the monring. Just a few days ahead of the World Test Championship final at Lord's, Clarkson welcomed the Australian cricket captain to his famous Oxfordshire farm, Diddly Squat, to film a segment for the show. The former Top Gear presenter was blunt about his sporting preferences. 'I've never been a fan of cricket,' Clarkson remarked. 'I always had too much hay fever to know what was going on.' Speaking to Nine's Today show, Cummins revealed that Clarkson had another reason to be interested in the sport. 'He grows willow trees, so he's making cricket bats,' said Cummins. 'I think he sees a fortune in the future where he's going to sell these willow trees across to India or Australia, so he talked commercial terms on some of these things rather than cricket.' Cummins played an impromptu game of farmyard cricket where he tested out the bat, before having a round of beers at 10am in the morning. The Aussie skipper even cracked out some of his Mountain Culture pale ales and offered them to Clarkson. 'Loved it,' said Cummins. 'He tried the Mountain Culture Status Quo. Loved it. I don't think he was just being polite, either. It was about 10 o'clock in the morning and he basically skolled it.' Cummins says he was excited to be returning to the home of cricket on Wednesday against South Africa. 'I visited here (Lords) as a 13-year-old and we did the tour as a family,' said Cummins. 'I still remember that every time I come here. 'It's English, it's where cricket started and it does feel that extra little bit special.' He wasn't sure which side would have the home ground advantage, however. 'I feel like any English fans who turn up will be going for South Africa,' he smiled. 'We do have a lot of Aussies here in London who I'm sure will be showing their faces. Who knows?' Later this year, the skipper will return again to England to lead the Aussies in another Ashes campaign.
