And there is very few things Cricki Leaks loves more than Christmas carols. For some reason we find them relatable - they’re repetitive, relentless and annoying.

This desk has a penchant for certain carols, including Nedwin The Red Rose Reindeer, I’m Dreaming Of A Ned Christmas and our personal favourite Hark, The Nedward Angels Sing.

So, on that note, we welcome you a very special edition ... Cricki Leaks presents: A very Neddy Christmas.

It’s no secret Ned Morrish is Cricki Leaks’s favourite son, he has been ever since his infamous “hackers” comment. 

But Nedwin has been reasonably quiet on the Cricki Leaks front in 2014-15, which is unfortunate for us.

What’s unfortunate for Nedward, is that he’s also been pretty quiet on the wickets front.

In fact, Neddy’s taken just four this season. 

To put that in perspective, Neduardo has the same amount of scalps as his skipper, John Howard-esque finger spinner Matt Findlay.

Christmas is a time for love, thanks, good food and of course - most importantly - presents.

Now, our Nedgar makes no secret of his love for Australian left-arm quick Mitchell Johnson.

In fact, Neddard has often been caught by his teammates perusing Johnson’s magazine spreads, particularly the full page underwear advertisements.

But, not for the reason you may think.

Nedric likes looking at Johnson’s tattoos, and in his bid to perform like the sometimes moustachioed menace, is in the process of “inking” himself to match.

Now, Cricki Leaks would never judge someone having tattoos, the choice is each person’s. But to miss cricket to get one?

We’re not sure about that Nedvard.

After saying he was unavailable for Saturday’s game as he was “away for the holidays”, word Nedelsten’s latest tattoo plans came to light at Orange City training during the week.

To all the Cricki Leaks faithful, we give you a message from the greatest clown of all, Krusty - “have a merry Christmas, a happy Hanukkah, a crazy Kwanzaa, a tip-top Tet and a solemn and dignified Ramadan.”
