WATCH: We're chatting with Australia's favourite sub-fielder and national treasure, Mickey Edwards

By Riordan Lee / Editor

Mickey Edwards was the surprise cult-hero of the Sydney Test, and we’re going to have a chat with the legend himself this arvo on Roar LIVE.

Edwards lived out every Australian cricket fan’s dream – taking the field in a Test match for his country and stealing the show.

One minute he was working in the Budgy Smugglers store in Manly on a Saturday morning, the next he was out in the middle playing in front of tens of thousands at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

He’s got a ripper of a yarn and we can’t wait to hear all about it, so make sure you get your questions in the comments and we’ll put them to the great man at 5:45pm this afternoon.

Roar Live will be streamed today on The Roar’s Facebook page and also on the site at 5:45pm (check the homepage). It will also be available as a podcast on Soundcloud and iTunes.

Nice work guys. Sounds like a decent level headed fella with a fair stash of talent under the hood, lets hope the injury-gods give him an even break. Riordan, you're a good sport. I'll do my best to assist when you next drop the feelers.

I think it's safe to say there's no reason for anyone else to ask questions, as Jason has asked them all for us.

16. Is it true you shaved the handlebars following Movember? 17. I hope you like Indian - has anyone had a quiet word? 18. Lyon kept throwing you the ball, what words were exchanged and did you have the last? 19. Were you encouraged to sledge - what was your best? 20. Did thoughts of shelling a catch go through your mind, just to get another run on day-6?

4. Did Lyon lead the post match song…Did Warner shout you a coldie? You're selling yourself short. That's two separate questions.

1. How long until you're doing undie ads with the Honey Badger? 2. What's was Warner's reason for coming on for the last wicket - snubbed after the hard work? 3. Whose baggygreen did you borrow, did you receive a replica for keeps? 4. Did Lyon lead the post match song...Did Warner shout you a coldie? 5. Did the nerves subside or rise once you realised 30,000 were having a laugh? 6. Can you bat? 7. Does your mum really prefer tennis? 8. How much stick do you expect from your grade opponents this weekend? 9. Is this the pinnacle of your career? 10. If 'yes' to Q9 - is it time to retire?
