Warner Park Stadium - 2 games - 1 close finish/1 drubbing - the cricket spoke for itselfI lost gravy to the city after that tight win we had in Game 4 of the series…I had a few beers with him off camera then let the big fella to be with his old mates.
I was up to around midnight which was enough for me after drinking all day. Gravy went all night and I saw him next at the game in the morning looking fresh as a daisy…what a legend on the drink….just does it for a living.
The railway took us to the bottom of Brimstone Hill which has a British fort on it. The Slavery issue - we believe had to be touched on. I felt a little uncomfortable bringing it up with Gravy.Gravy’s attitude to slavery, which I thought was fantastic, was: it was in the past…‘move on positively that is the best way of dealing with it’.
Saying goodbye to Gravy was 2 minutes in the show but was many hours off camera. We stayed at that bar that we shot the final goodbye at but we also went with the crew to a beautiful restaurant right on the water for a crew dinner that night.
We had a great feed and a few wines and it gave us all a time to reflect on what a great trip that we had all had done over the 7 weeks. Mike Hussey had given the boys one of his one dayer shirts and had signed it for me. The boys presented it with me before dessert and I proudly put it on over my ‘Sunday best’ and wore it for the rest of the night…even in the casino till 5am!!
