Dan and Tom were at the Brit Oval for the England vs Australia Test Match Special for BBC.
Awww... I love my crazy, little cricket fan....

During the lunch interval in today's coverage of day four of the final England versus Australia test match from the Brit Oval, the lunchtime guests on Test Match Special on BBC Radio were two rather special cricket fans.
I have never heard anything so wonderful - well, remember Dan's answer to my question at the London Premier?
The clip starts with Geoff Boycott interrupting his review of the morning's play to have a go at Dan, who has just arrived in the box.
Life gets no better than this - as long as you want to hear people adoring cricket for twenty-five minutes - and you can hear Dan and Tom's interview.
**BBC RADIO segment will be available soon**
Today, at the Brit Oval, they defeated Australia by 197 runs, to take the series 2-1 and regain the Ashes, with the golden Stuart Broad being named as Man of the Match for his transformative 5-37 on Friday afternoon.
There is no more important achievement in life sport than winning the Ashes, and the 2009 series has been as full of great joys and great heartbreaks as any Ashes series - bar 2006-07, of course, of which we will not speak, and where joy was strictly confined.
As we all know, and as we all heard, earlier today, Dan Radcliffe is as full of flailing cricketing joy and heartbreak and statistics as we could possibly hope for in our wildest dreams, and I am quite sure that he is incandescent with happiness, this afternoon.
And, as the eagle eared Danilo has reminded us, when Dan was asked for a series forecast by BBC Radio at the beginning of this summer, his prediction was a 2-1 victory for England!
More to come....
