Canberra ref.Ben Wilson inside Brian Lara's house

Who, Who's in the house?

Fifa Referee and Canberran Ben Wilson tells a great story.

"I was refereeing in Trinidad for the Youth World Cup. A Trinidad referee invited a group of us to cricket legend Brian Lara's house."

"Fantastic house, we had a great time."

"A perk of the job I suppose."

"Only thing was Brian wasn't there, he was playing cricket in Australia."

"And when I came back to Canberra Airport, who was checking in for a flight. Yes, Brian Lara. He'd been playing against the PM's XI in Canberra."


Did you tell him you'd been in his house.


"No, I thought about it, pretty funny though."

Thanks Ben, great story.
