This isn't the last we've heard of Lauren Jackson by a long stretch
I first met Lauren Jackson in the flesh at a dinner for the Canberra Capitals more than 15 years ago. Of course I'd seen her play basketball countless times, but standing right next to her was initially intimidating.And no, it wasn't her height - though when you are a 6 foot tall female, it's not often you have other women towering over you; and at 6'5" plus some killer heels, she certainly did.I was more than a little impressed because she was to me, and still is, the first female sporting supe..>> view originalWhincup and Winterbottom disagree on Supercars' new format
