One of the perks of tagging along with the Australian Cricket Team is coming into contact with all the interesting people who like cricket, one of whom is the Shark. He's good mates with Border and Warne and hosted a heap of us at his house after a win in the West Indies.
I know he comes across as a bit of an odd unit and I don't much care for his politics, but he is a great blokes to have a chat to and share a beer with. Just a genuine Aussie bloke, the sort you meet on any golf course around the country. He's not a huge AFL buff but is a Tigers man. Had a surreal moment sharing a beer with him and hearing his theories about what the Tigers needed to do to become a strong club again.
