First up on his agenda was some country music – “I don’t mind Del Reeves” – followed by “a couple of quiet lemonades later on”.
Merv took his visit to the region as an opportunity to praise “outstanding” Bendemeer pace bowler Josh Hazelwood.
And while he might have given up cricket for the most part, his strength on the moustache front has never wavered. “You just don’t shave in that spot,” he tipped.
Merv was due in Gunnedah on Friday, before fishing at Lake Keepit.
