Yep, rumours only mate, no doubt about it. Kingy is about to build another room on his house, going to call it his "trophy cabinet" - yes he cleaned up again Friday night at the presentations. The guy is an absolute freak, his cricket is getting better with age (still plays a mean game of footy as well). Good to see his misses didn't foal during the game, what a sport she is, only thinking of her husband (good to see).
As for Jimmy - well a guy that is very swift trying to kill batsman obviously has a softer side to him?? Maybe he should get in touch with that and switch to slow offies next year. Most batsman would sleep easier Friday nights if he did that.
Speaking of tears, think there were some very emotional guys in the dogbox about 3:30 am Monday morning. The loss was felt pretty hard (as it should be), but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. The GC vs GV rivalry over the next couple of years should be fantastic, providing of course both clubs stay within the A1's. With the comp seeming to get better and stonger every year, every side will need to perform at their best (example - Sandy and Nuri both missing finals this year - you wouldn't have thought that at the start of the season).
