Seen that happen - big annual gala charity match - Australia Vs the World, best
8 hours of entertainment ever. Everyone cheats, umpires accept bribes on behalf
of the charity, last one held featured Pat Rafter (the Oz tennis player) playing
as well and he was brilliant, I later learned it was a photo finish choice
between tennis or cricket for him as a lad.

Never thought of that, although I have complained about the light when getting
thirsty for a Fosters.

That's normal everyday attire for some blokes I know, not kidding.

themselves.

Never caught on
