HE'S the steroid-taking American baseball legend who appeared in The Simpsons and wants to come to Australia, but Jose Canseco has a list of demands that need to be met before he can play in the Australian Baseball League. The star wants a beach, a casino, money, fans and to test himself in a game of cricket. Locker Room thinks the Canberra Cavalry should be the front-runner for his signature. Canseco can spend his days tanning at Yarralumla beach on Lake Burley Griffin, his nights in the high rollers room at Casino Canberra and we're pretty sure the ACT Comets will give him a run if he wants a crack at wearing whites. Canseco used Twitter to declare his interest in cricket, while continuing to flirt with the idea of joining the baseball league. ''Thinking about going down under,'' he said. ''Is cricket hard to hit? Doesn't look too hard the bat is so big. And there are no foul balls! Can you play both pro cricket and pro baseball in Australia? I do like to wear white.''
