Here is John Howard comparing himself to a cricketer in an attempt to make his faltering leadership look respectable.
…the batsman having reached a double century is displaying both defensive and offensive tactics, the equal of those that have got him to the double century, the gap between bat and pad is no wider and his cover drives are just as immaculate.
Here is John Howard playing cricket.

The man is the world’s greatest spinner, but he could get a five year old, uncoordinated, blind kid out.

John Howard is like a nerd from my school who couldn’t actually play cricket, but to make up for it he became obsessed with the statistics, history and players etc.

I think I have just found someone I could outbowl. I’m going to call my mum and boast.

I had a similar experience playing cricket with the kids at school last week. First ball was about four metres wide down the leg side. Cue lots of sub-teenage laughing.
Clean bowled the little turd on the second ball, though.

So Rudd goes to a strip club and it is seen as proof he is a real person, but seeing Elmer Fudd bowl like that just proves that he is a real looser.

Hairball, never fear, I’m sure that Rudd was clumsy and uncoordinated at the strip club. (Although I really hope there’s no youtube video to prove me right).
Ed, thanks for this. It has made my morning.
