Greats come to the aid of Slick

What do Shane Warne, David Boon, Merv Hughes, Michael Slater and Mark Taylor all have in common? OK apart from being cricketers with a weight or mental issue? They were all seen entering Ding Dong Dang, one of Sydneys karaoke houses, on Tuesday night. In what could be described as a melding of the great minds from the last two decades of cricket the legends initiated a meeting at the house of sing with 2006 Savs captain Slick. By the time Slick arrived the meeting had already been leaked and the captain, already feeling the pressure from an 0 from 3 record in 06, was forced to battle through the media and huge crowd that thronged his limousine on arrival. Despite the unexpected welcome, true to form the embattled captain signed autographs on breasts, butts and beer gutts for a good 1/2 an hour and as a sign of his popularity could have done so for another 4 more hours without running out of eager autograph hunters.
Although the meeting was closed door, sources believe the legends gathered to pass on encouragement and guidance through song to the captain. Further proof of this was gained when shortly after the meeting started a red faced and obviously angry Shane Warne stormed out membling something like "song...I thought we'd bl$&^y well agreed on interpretive dance".
The night threatened to spiral further when Slater (who recently went public with his bi-polar diagnosis) sang Helen Reddies "I am woman hear me roar" but Boon, showing the experience only gained from 23 years of test cricket, promptly and discreetly ended Slaters embarrassing Faux pa by vomiting on Slaters shirt.
In a post meeting interview, Hughes said that despite the rough beginning the night went incredibly well. "It was a smash", said Hughes, "Warney sang Eye of the tiger which goes down well in any company, Boonie sang Land Down Under which as an absolutely freakin classic, and only gets better when sung by a fat ex cricketer wearing underpants only, and we all came together in the end to sing You are the wind beneath my wings, and there was certainly wind in that place let me tell you. We ended with a spot of pilates and I gave an incredibly speech, started with a fart joke of course but ended by letting Slick know that his role as captain, and therefore leader, is not really about playing a good innings. Of course you need to do such things to retain a spot on the team but the captain, and Slick epitomises this perfectly, is someone whos very prescence gives encouragement to the whole team, Slick just has to stand out there to make an impact and he should be aware of that through the entire game. Every comment, every gesture will be watched, scrutinized and judged by his players and if they think Slick is angry at a dropped chance, or disappointed at a missed run out for example, this is going to hang around the necks of every player and in the end be the albotross that sinks the Savs. A game where Slick encourages his players probably equates to a game where 1-2 extra wickets is taken per player. An incredible statistic."
It is rumoured that due to the success of the night, and the anger of Warne, that an interpretive dance evening will be held in the near future.
