"Beer stains, everything else. And you'll see a dual sponsorship here. Enbroidered with Castle Lager, MTN, which is a network provider � I actually got this from Shaun's brother, Gavin, who is an ex flying squad policeman and used to run a cricket shop. ... I knew Gav and had been out to lunch with him. He gave me that. ... I did buy some stuff off Gav and that's how he gave me the Pollock coffin. He said 'here put all this to take it home in'. [And this stuff Shaun had given him]. I think this is against England. That's when Shaun was captain and it's a long sleeve. Beer stains down the front even though Shaun's a non drinker. ... I do believe he might have scored a century ... England's tour to South Africa".
