One of the lads had a backpack. When questioned what were the contents, he opened it up. FFS!! He had a full set of creams. "Just in case I am needed " he says. "But I will have to borrow a baggy green". The silly prick was dead serious too. Naturally we near pissed ourselves laughing.


Even with Geoff Lawson getting his jaw broken by big Curtly, he was not required. Viv Richards got 140+, Merv Hughes got a hat trick but spread over 3 overs (work that one out) and Australia got flogged. The Windies rarely lost at the WACA with their awesome fast bowling talent in the 70's and 80's.
