Adam Voges chose his woman before his country.
When picked for the South African squad, he said no, my woman comes first, I will marry her instead.
No one was quite sure how that would play in the darkened ivory laden selectorial grotto of Cricket Australia.
Surely that was something that james sutherland could spin into a sponsorship deal, but how would the selectors feel.
Apparently it pissed someone off, A Voges does not find himself in the tour to the Sahara Desert to play Pakistan.
Even though two batsman are being ‘rested’ and two have been dropped.
The selectors are clearly telling the boy something, support dying in laws (think M Clarke) and we will allow it, but don’t support your woman, unless she is dying (think G McGrath).
Shaun Marsh and Andrew Symonds have come in, Cam White, Marcus North, Mike Hussey and Ricky Ponting are all out.
And so is Voges, maybe for ever.
Lets hope that marriage lasts, she tastes like beer and pizza, and she is a great woman.
If not, everytime she moans, or pisses him off he will stare at her with murderous intent.
Can’t you just see him on the rotten brown sofa, yellow stain on his singlet, signed stump in his hand, just waiting for her to turn before he takes to her like he did that day against NSWales.
I know.
I bet the selectors didn’t ring him either, I bet they just dropped the names to the media, and rang the inclusions.
They are good like that.
