Don't know if it has been written or spoken about in Oz, but i was surprised to hear today that he is now part of the West Indies setup as the strength and conditioning coach

Yeah Nash - first white Windies player since the early 70's I think

On Folkes, good thing someone like him wasn't coacing the dirty pricks back in the late 70's - they'd still be picking bits of Fred Goodall from the turf

Whoever the broadcaster Fox is using for the test series did a video package on Steve Folkes. To show that he succeeded in RL, they had a clip from the '04 GF. I think the rest of the circket world would have been interested to see Folkes being hugged / raped by Willie Mason whilst downing a magnum of champers!

Good on Steve Folkes. His number was up as a RL coach, so he found a good way to not have a real job for as long as he can. He's always been a fit bugger.

Didn't Errol Alcott start out at Souffs, move on to cricket for eons, and then return to Souffs ? How old is this guy ? He's obviously still fit, as Folkesy will probably be too at his age.

and more trivia, he used to be Mitch's room mate at the Bulls
