"Get ready to get out of here with broken arm"
However,
there are times when the 'victim' manages to turn the situation around. In a
match against Zimbabwe, the great Australian pitcher Glenn McGrath tried to
bite hitter Eddo Brandes with the question: "Why are you so fat?".
Brandes' answer was blunt: "Because every time I shoot your wife, she
gives me a cookie." For his part, the Australian Rod Marsh was the author
of this comment to the legendary English player, Ian Botham: "How about
your wife and my children?" Botham's response? "My wife is fine, but
the children are retarded."
What would
Gale, the defender of mental control, the courage and the nobility of cricket,
say if he were alive to hear such confrontations between the 'gentlemen' of his
beloved sport?
