"Let's be fair to Jesse - this is not a big issue. Jesse rang me and explained what happened several nights ago. He is disappointed that he drank after being off all alcohol for over 100 days."And by his mentor Murray Deaker:
"Jesse's had over a hundred days of sobriety and has made enormous progress during that time, on and off the field."Let the diary begin.

If NZ cricket really cared for him, they'd have stepped in when Mallya auctioned him.
I think we should allow Jesse to drink, he's much more fun and would probably play better.
12th, you're right, there's no hope left for Jesse, especially now that he's been mixing with an alcohol business tycoon. It's too late for even 100 days of sobriety to have any effect.
Esra, you mean play better when he misses out on the game due to his drinking? Sounds like a plan, haha.
