| Best Sporting Moment/Achievement (personal or any)? | Winning the NSW Combined High Schools Competition in 1994. Scoring 140 for Roseville 5th Grade (but got robbed by about 30 runs as hitting the ball into houses was inexplicably ruled as a dot ball) |
| Worst Sporting Moment/Achievement (personal or any)? | Spraying the golf ball around Royal Melbourne Golf Course and shooting 120 in a school competition and the guy that beat me got 84 or something.. totally humiliating. Failing to score a run until my 7th innings of 2002. (Needless to say my average took a bit of a hammering that year. I was absolutely atrocious) |

I’m pretty sure that it was a flood of tears that the floor was soaked in..... A boring one is that I was interviewed several times on national and state radio on publication of my dissertation on what??? webby after finishing uni.. my 15 minutes is all but over. |
