Cricket humour to lift our spirits By Tony O'Hagan
I
n the light of all the negative press emanating from the corridors of Cricket South Africa, I thought it a good idea to share a little cricketing humour, which often takes the form of sledging and banter. According to Cricketlab, this reaches "back into the dark ages of the game".
They tell the story of old timer, WG Grace, who, on his dismissal, stated "’T was the wind which took thy bail off, good sir." The umpire responded, "Indeed, doctor, and let us hope thy wind will help the good doctor on thy journey back to the pavilion." Today’s banter and sledging is not as polite and in many instances, not suitable for publication. There were a number of sledges aimed at South African batsman, Daryll Cullinan who became known as Australian spin bowler, Shane Warne's "bunny". This master spinner had Cullinan's number, dismissing him on numerous occasions. During a series in Australia, at a time when Warne was carrying some weight, he welcomed
Cullinan to the crease with the following chirp, "I've waited two years for a chance to humiliate you again." To which Cullinan responded, ''Looks like you've spent those two years eating." After being tormented by Warne in Australia, Cullinan arrived in New Zealand to play a series there. When he came in to bat, he faced the first ball from New Zealand bowler, Chris Harris. Cullinan played the delivery very carefully back down the pitch and with that, New Zealand wicket keeper, Adam Parore yelled, "Well bowled, Warnie!" News travels fast! In cricket, it sometimes occurs that a bowler comes in to bowl and the batsman "snicks" the ball with his bat and is caught, normally behind the wicket. If the umpire does not give the batsman "out", occasionally (not very often), the batsman will "walk" back to the pavilion on his own accord. Legendary South African batsman, Barry Richards commented, ''The only time an Aussie walks is when his car runs out of petrol!” He should know as he spent many years playing cricket ‘Down Under’. Jokes abound in the cricketing arena and one of the oldies refers to a wife who phones the ground to speak to her husband. One of the team members answers the phone and informs the wife that her husband has just gone out
to bat. The wife replies: "I'll hang on, he won't be long.” When Australia were going through a lean patch in their quest to win the ‘Ashes’, an urn that is contested for between Australia and England, the question was asked, "What is the difference between Ricky Ponting (Australian Captain) and a funeral director? The answer, “A funeral director doesn't keep losing the ashes.” A hat trick in cricket occurs when a bowler takes 3 wickets with 3 consecutive balls. On this occasion, a batsman was out first ball of the over. The new batter came in and was out the next ball. On his way back to the pavilion, he passed the next incoming batsman, a pompous rival who said, tongue in cheek, "Tough luck, old man." The outgoing batsman shot back, "It's a shame I had to be right in the middle of a hat trick, see you soon."

And finally, one for our beleaguered Proteas: "What do you call a world-class South African batsman?" Retired! Hopefully this prankster will eat his words and our Proteas will come good against England. However, this will entail an upgrade on recent performances. Good luck, Proteas!
