Those that know me well, would understand that I am a stickler for the rules and generally ‘swim between the flags’ with my life choices. My decisions were usually based around doing the right thing and keeping others happy.
This theory was severely challenged in February 1992 when it was announced that NSW would be taking on an Australian XI in a 50 over warm up game for the 1992 World Cup that was on the horizon. Going to the game was a magnificent idea, the problem however, it was on a school day…..
Somehow, and it still baffles me that my older brother and I got this one across the line, we convinced my Mother that our time would be better spent at North Sydney Oval than at the school swimming carnival that was scheduled for the same day.
