Shane and Simone separated in mid-2005, but the leg spinner has expressed his desire for reconciliation, describing her as his “rock.”
Ahhhh yes……love. Ain’t it grand? Shane needs Simone because she’s his rock. She’s also his controlling influence, which he’s recognised as an essential part of him being who he is….or was, anyway. Now he’s a has-been. Just another of the ranks of Australia’s former cricket players all shoulder each other out of the way in a bid to grace the halls of Channel Nine Cricket.
Of course, Bannerman is quite prepared to admit that having undoubtedly fucked Simone on board Jamie Packers floating whorehouse, Shane-boy is more than likely in line for a spot on the commentary panel. Hell, he’s likely to give Ian Chappell a run for the slackest jaw return-spring award. Chappelli has a long lead on Shaney, but Bannerman has no doubts that given a week or two before the microphone, Warne would drop more than his share of clangers.
But back to Simone. Wasn’t she the self-declared happy single mum? The come back modelling queen, all ready to take on the homemakers scene? A wonderfully aged and refined woman she is, no doubts there. Bannerman feels the twitch which hormones bring to the nether regions whenever her visage is on offer. He’d certainly see his way clear to show her a sexual experience she’d scorn ex-hubby for. But is she really that stupid? To shackle herself to the lame-brained, loud-mouthed wannabe porn star again? Time will tell, Bannerman presumes, but as a word of advice, he exhorts Simone to take her sexual jollies where she can get them, but remain aloof, my girl. Legal attachments to morons always lead to tears.
