Shero

First of all I dont agree with most of the things Bowls WA is doing at the moment and the reasons Anthony Provost suspension is for, are over the top but in the end of the day Anthony as a person has to grow up.

He's the best bowler I have seen in the 25 years of bowls I have played and until today held him in a very high regard until his personal attack towards myself on green at Vic Park today over my withdrawing from a game at Sorrento master singles 2 weeks ago due to a long ongoing knee problem that he does not know anything about.

His attack was made in the so called name of gamesmanship to help his club win a pennant game (of which no disrespect to Vic Park, they fully deserved on the day) his actions to myself today no matter how good a bowler he is no way for a state bowler / state skipper to act and has no place in bowls at all.

Until he learns to respect people and the game and play in a manner fitting a state rep he shouldn't play a part in representing his state.

I do hope he does wake up and use his talent and help WA get back to the top in bowls because when he plays bowls without the bull.... he truly is great to watch even when he's beating you or the club you play for.
