Greatest moment for Sundown Specials

 

 

 

Hitting some Australian knobhead from Reptillians back over his head for what should have been 4, but turned out to be 5 because the ball hit aforementioned prick’s bat which he’d left the wrong side of the boundary. MN was umpiring and signalled 5 with great glee.

Brent Hindus piling into one another over a batting line up fracas at Mill Hill School was quite amusing as was Smiler berating John Hollis for bringing along a hapless fielder (making up the numbers) who’d just let another Smiler delivery through his legs and over the boundary, “F*ckin Hell, John.
