Vaseline and cricket – an ancient art
I learned early how to cheat in cricket. At 12, I was a junior member of Oak Park’s under 14s. Making up the numbers, I didn’t bowl all season and batted 10 or 11, depending on who else was making up the numbers.
Vaseline and cricket – a long association.
No ticket no worries
I lived in Melbourne for the first seventeen years of my life and never went to a grand final. I did attend the MCG on grand final day from 1978 to 1980, but that was to line the boundary with hundreds of other little league kids and let helium balloons fly.
After that duty, the kids were herded off the ground and into tents outside the MCG for a pie and a Big M.
