Micko last played for Morialta about 10yrs ago I reckon mate. He got hitched and started pumping out a few kids. He was the Bar Manager at the Tower Hotel up until about 2003/04 and I heard a whisper he either bought or bought into the Western Hotel in Pt Augusta and headed up there. Haven't heard from Micko for years, but was a more than handy cricketer. Reasonably slippery off a few paces and could hit a big ball too. One year for Metho's he hit two tons - one was 150 and the other 165, and you can guarantee there wasn't many 1's or 2's in those scores. A man of your own heart Smasha!![]()
My fondest memory of Micko (apart from sharing a few flags with him at PV and many legless nights in the City..) was the 94/95 Carnival in Royal Park, Melbourne. He virtually won us the game against Western Suburbs (SA got up by 7 runs) when he took a one hander, running full-pelt back towards the boundary from mid-off from the bowling of the great man, S.Morris. Still sends shivers down my spine recalling the moment and the feeling in the huddle when we all finally caught up with him..

Yep...pushed them through at times for sure. And he definitely hit a long ball. Very handy all rounder.
Who was the big fella that played at Plympton around that time ? Bowled with good wheels but man, anyone would've thought he was Brett Lee the way they talked him up.
