A former sporting great turned sports-betting great has today proven to the the younger members of his extended family that he has indeed still got it.
Despite his very visible, and clearly audible, lack of fitness – Corey (33) has been letting that chin music play all morning.
From the worrying amount of puffing he has been doing after each run up, to the injury he seems to have sustained running backwards while waiting for a ball from his niece at fine leg – It is clear that Corey is putting it all on the line today, in his effort to uphold his mostly imaginary status as king of the jungle when it comes to family backyard cricket with the family.
With two undefined sides made up of a mixture of families coming together for somewhat of a light-hearted pre-lunch match, Corey is desperately trying to get everyone to take this a bit more seriously.
The extra effort can be seen with the crisp and aggressive ‘tsssss’ noise he lets out every time he rolls the arm over and lets go of a headhunter.
The length and volume of the ‘tsssss” noise appears to vary in accordance with just how dangerous the ball is.
At time of press Corey was seen telling his 12-year-old cousin that they have always played one-hand-one-bounce.
