In keeping with the cricketing theme, we'll miss the last 20 minutes of it to watch A Current Affair

If Billy Birmingham isn't doing the voice for Greigy it's a massive jib, IMHO.

It was about getting Lillee. He was cricket here back then.
Ian Chappell tells the story of Cornell or Robertson visitng the Australians on tour in the lead up and discussing whether cricketer understood the language of money. To illustrate a point they said to Lillee they would give him $50 a run over 20. Australia had suffered a bit of a collapse and Lillee immediately did the team thing and went and got a promotion in the order, nearly ran out to bat, belted the first ball for six and turned around with a big **** eating grin on his face at the dressing room. Max Walker risked a close friendship by ending the innings and leaving Lillee 29 or so not out. At the innings break they again approached Lillee and offered him $100 a wicket. There was about half an hour of play left in the day. Lillee took four in the time available, and seemed to prove the point that cricketers understand how money works. |
