Zoe from way back.
During the ABC's radio coverage of the Boxing Day Test between Australia and South Africa, from here in Melbourne - guest commentator and retired Australian womens cricket captain Belinda Clark mentioned Zoe Goss.
ZOE GOSS!
Way back in 1994 during a Bradman Foundation charity match, Goss famously (or perhaps not so famously since I'm going over this for you) got all conquering West Indian batsman Brian Lara out. Lara was bowled out by a girl, as a nation of cricket loving men swooned for the pretty Goss, with her shoulder length brown hair, pretty smile and playful sports skirt.
I am seriously dark on the fact that the internet seems to contain not one single image of Goss playing in this game, in order to aid my description of what made her such a spunk - apart from the fact that she had just messed up Brian Lara's shit.
Goss is 37 now, and is still playing for Western Australia. She was the toast of the cricketing world for a brief period, before becoming the answer to a sportsmans night trivia question. In true underpaid Australian sportwoman tradition, Goss went on to pose for an Inside Sport shoot some time following. Luckily, I am able to provide you with a copy of that below.
It is a crying shame that there isnt a shrine, online or otherwise to the wicket that helped spawn some of the tastiest fruit of tokenism Australia has seen.
Zoe Goss, I - and the twelve year old I, salute you.

Huzzah for Zoe! Who didn't have a thing for her?
I'm just not sure... well, given what we now know about the Australian Women's Cricket Team, I'm not sure that Zoe's really in the market for our crushes, Student old buddy old pal, if'n you catch my drift.
How awful to think I might have wasted all those calories of lust (or whatever the hell you measure lust in).
Oh. thanks! that will make for a good trivia question.
