Is it true MJ has decided to head West and leave Watsonland ?
I didnt hear the report on the radio properly, but it sounded like
his girlfreind is heading West and MJ will follow her there.
I might be on the wrong track as I heard this during a noisy 20/20
game being played at the time.

Yeah i heard this too, although didn't hear it all that well either. Probably just a rumour given that his g/f is i think originally from WA.

it was in the paper a couple of weeks ago. It said that QCA was resigned to the fact that they have lost him.

Yeah it came out a couple of weeks ago. He very nearly went last year but decided to stay on again at Queensland. The Queensland board as bazza mentioned is nearly certain they will lose him at years end. His girlfriend is from there and he is very close to her family who live in WA. Would be a very handy player for WA when not playing international cricket if he decides to go.
