I assume that is an Aussie version of Family Fortunes?

Dunno about Aussie, but they have Family Feuds in the States that's just a Family Fortunes rip-off (probably came first, but what the hell)

Why would anyone want to rip off Family Fortunes? Staple diet of the regional ITV channels, says it all really.

I suppose the obvious examples are "caught out" when someone's been naughty & "hit for six" or alternatively "bowled over" when one is shocked.

A personal favourite of mine is "he/she had a good innings" when someone of ripe old years passes away.

Or when you slip over, it's "going for a six".

When someone in a position of power is reeling out the lies, they "have more spin than Shane Warne"

I love the cricket box that I wear out to nightclubs.

Random punters still lining up to kick you in the cods, huh? It's that trenchant, no-prisoners reporting style...
