Im sure everyone who doesnt know Jason, doesnt realise that he seriously doesnt mind that the record has been broken so soon, and his congratulations to Anthony are sincere.
Jason said to me that other night that someone else could have the record and he didnt want it as all people have done is bag him since he broke it. Why they bagged him I have no idea (perhaps jealousy?). Look at it this way - in all the games that have ever been bowled anywhere in Australia - and those include bowled by every single bowler on all types of conditions anywhere in this country, from the easiest of conditions to the hardest of conditions including every single tournament which involved the best bowlers to have ever bowled in Australia, Jason had bowled the highest ever (until Anthony broke the record last night). Why that sort of achievement deserved to be bagged I will never know. The small mindness of some people is astounding.
In Jasons words "What a relief" - now perhaps you can just get back to enjoying your bowling. Or, like I keep suggesting, quit and go and take up golf.
Despite having a laugh at Jasons expense and regardless of the conditions, it was a super human effort to shoot such large numbers. It may have only lasted as an Australian record for 2 weeks, but I have a feeling it will be a Queensland record for soemtime to come.
Oh, and Jason, a mutual friend, who I tried to get to come up to Milton with me on Thursday night says G'day and reckons you're only a 160 average outside of Milton. :lol: :wink: His brother was a manager at Milton and lots of tattoos ring a bell? You bowled together well over a decade ago. I bowl with the lazy bum now.
