There Goes My Hero - Darren Lehman
Boof played his last game for SA today and in doing so crushed WA with an epic, magnificent century in a massive run chase.
What can we learn from Boof?
The skill of patience for when you can't get somewhere in life to not give up, and to never drop your head.
The skill of innovativeness, to have the courage to back your ideas or the shots you invented.
The ability to accept responsibility, and to apologise when you are in the wrong. Like when you call some Sri Lankans 'Black Cunts'.
The importance of being fucking awesome and to always make jokes about obvious things to interviewers because no one else will. And to have a the courage to commit to a wife and be faithful even if you are the hottest cricketer in the world who must turn away thousands of women and some men away every day.
Boof - a man of wonderful timing, smart decisions and a sense of grace not usually deserved by stockily built short people. God I love you and I will miss you. Thanks for the fireworks and champagne you brought tonight.

I did some quick calculations using some estimated values, and to turn down thousands of women it would take two to three hours of your day away. And that\'s being conservative.
Also, I\'m guessing you\'re one of the men he\'s turned down by the way you gush on...
Boof is god
I saw that innings, and was impressed. Pity he can\'t play for England!
Thats all really strange cause my friend and I just met you at a bar. We didnt know who you were. We dont follow cricket. You told us you were single. HMMMMMMMM!?
