Sav walkout

By Len Banano

The enigma known only as Snowy has caused another problem for the Sav's camp after not appearing for their post win training session on Tuesday morning.

The Sav's spirits were high following their demolition of current competition leaders The Newtown Gaymongrels on Monday night and it will be interesting to see if this latest incidnet will do anything to their confidence going into the remaining rounds.

Snowy has been consistently the Sav's star player since his debut in 1999 and this type of behaviour is nothing new. In 2002 there was the incident that few in the sporting world would ever forget where Snowy scored a record 128 runs, all 6's and famously refused to run at all, (a record that still stands today), made 7 catches and 11 run outs in the field and took 10 wickets, easily the best ever recorded all round performance. It was then revealed that Snowy had been on a 5 day bender and had a blood alcohol reading of 2.23.

This latest incident pales in comparison but it will be interesting to see if the Sav's will drop a player of Snowy's caliber due to his latest indiscretion.
