(RCSD) It's Cinderella time: The cricket season begins.

Two of the world's best to smear on the sunblok
(Both Western Australians)
The other fella who's name escapes me
(Gazza may know) He liked his team to bowl underarm.

Rodney Marsh (that's him in centre) & Ian (Beefy) Botham (England)
When Ian Botham took guard in an Australian-England Ashes match,
Marsh welcomed him to the wicket with the immortal words:
"So how's your wife & my kids?"

" The other fella who's name escapes me
(Gazza may know) He liked his team to bowl underarm.

Brother Trevor Chappell was the culprit bowler.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underar..._incident_1981 - a site I
am sure much visited by Kiwis.

Isn't quite in the league of the El Salvador and Honduras "soccer war" but
for non-Latin temperaments closeish.

In the 80's our appalling PM of the time, Muldoon, got a couple of shots
back:

'New Zealand was colonized initially by those Australians who had the
initiative to escape'

'New Zealanders who leave for Australia raise the IQ of both countries'

Having moved to Aus for a couple of years and then back, I am not sure where
I get classified on initiative or IQ.

As does the beach cricket season - http://www.lenjury.co.nz/_stamps/352.jpg
- where underarm bowling is definitely OK.
