My little brother 'Brett Lee' was playing backyard cricket with me yesterday afternoon...(earlier in the day he had nicknamed me Mayonnaise)
0.1 Brett Lee to Mayonnaise - hit on the wrist, no run
0.2 Brett Lee to Mayonnaise - sweet cover drive, 2 runs
0.3 Brett Lee to Mayonnaise - hit wicket Mayonnaise promptly declares backyard rule E37.5 'you cannot be out to a sibling 15yrs younger than you'.... Younger sister points out that Mayonnaise hit the wicket, therefore Mayonnaise got herself out..
Ok, Mayonnaise gives in, starts to bowl in tandem with Brett Lee
0.1 Mayonnaise to Thommo - drives down the ground, 4 runs
0.2 Brett Lee to Thommo - hit to the off-side, 1 run
0.3 Mayonnaise to Thommo - no run, defended.
Brett Lee now at the start of his run-up, declares 'I'm the only person in the world who can swing bowl'
0.4 Brett Lee to Thommo - cover drive, 4 runs
Brett Lee 'And Mayonnaise, you can't swing the ball at all!'
0.5 Mayonnaise to Thommo - runs up, aborts run, now in fits of laughter.. second try runs up, starts laughing more, bowls the ball, beamer, flies over the fence, car & down the hill into the park.
0.6 Brett Lee to Thommo - bowls him, Thommo is now laughing as well, so couldn't defend
Brett Lee 'Mayonnaise, you can stand there now'
Mayonnaise 'Where?'
Brett Lee (points to the garden) 'Over there, you can be the crowd now'
