Bailey went ok for me in the Australian domestic dream team thing that was run a couple of years ago, but I guess I have to go for Nash. He must get sick of it, but he does have his own footnote in history.

The interviews I've seen with him, he's actually quite proud and very good-humoured about it. :)
