Sorry I don't get your point Have you ever been AWOL? I was charged for AWOL. Twice. Defended myself the second time, which is unheard of, and for a not guilty verdict after 2 and a half hours. I was guilty as sin and everyone knew it. The guard was waiting downstairs ready to take me to the cells....

Shocked and saddened to hear this news. A sporting hero to Australians and an icon to the cricket world.Changed cricket forever, while never changing his larrikin/bogan persona.
