Haha what? You implying that I made it up?
Yeah because
a) what would he be doing at a random nightclub by himself ?
b) They have their own private hangouts
c) Why would hw shout you a round taking the risk of being noticed and having to shout others
d) Why the hell would he dance with some random and take the risk of being noticed, sledged or even worse punched out.

can't give anyone an autograph at the most easiest period of the game that shows what a top bloke he is for sure.

Oh well I am seriously mistaken you see I have joined a cricket chat forum to discuss prince william
Are you suggesting cricket players do not attend the real world? That they attend exclusive night clubs worldwide, that their **** doesn't stink and they don't have belly buttons?

There were about 10 people on the fine leg fence. Asking Brett Can we please have an autograph. He couldn't even acknowledge us or them. The score was **** he had recently taken his 300th wicket. Yet old mate says he shouted him a beer and had a round on the dancefloor with him. Which I highly doubt as he can't sign a few autographs at the dire moments of a match.

No I am not suggesting that at all.
But on the rare occasions they are at night clubs they are with team mates. They do not shout randoms drinks and have a dance with them just for the sake of it. When they can't even sign an autograph. And they go to places where they know there shouldn't be any trouble they don't go to the first place they see.

What planet are you from? Their whole lives do not revolve around their cricket, just as in the same way that your whole life wouldn't revolve around school/work. Teammates aren't the same as friends and while they can be there is no reason why Lee has to be with them 24/7. I see All Blacks at clubs all the fricken time in Wellington and they're usually by themselves. Because they are people who are there to have a good time. He wasn't suggesting that Lee shouted everyone a drink for the heck of it, just merely an instance of when this happened to him. Perhaps Lee and him really hit it off and had a good laugh which made him want to shout the drink. Hardly that much of a stretch of the imagination.

You are separating cricket players from society itself when they are are in fact a part of society too. People have bad days, how would you deal with hundreds of screaming idiots asking you for an autograph every day of your life and whenever you just want to focus on your work they mutter about how you are such a bastard.

FFS.
