counts run
The significant thing is that every run now counts double.
concern concerned job players struck
The thing that struck me the most was his concern for only the players. He was concerned the players had been downtrodden and it was his job to put it right. And put it right he did.
dress
Only ever had a dress on once, mate.
asking bit exactly
What I would be doing if I was Jaques is asking the selectors to be a bit more specific. I'd want to know what is exactly the problem.

Australia has lost a truly great Australian. He was a very generous man, a bloke with an incredible sense of fun and that charisma that was around him.

The U.N. has been so disappointing to date on the whole Rwanda issue that despite the people they've sent through, and I have no doubt their competence, in the end, the decision is going to be made by other people and not by them.
anger taken years
Us investigators who went out into the field were faced on occasion with a lot of anger, by people saying why has it taken you five or six year to come and see me?
country hands over-you
You have to understand that once an indictment has been signed, all countries that are signature to the U.N. charter will hand a person straight over. You dont have to go through the normal extradition process.
