I was bowling to former Queenslander batting allrounder Glenn Trimble who played 2 one day games for Australia at Bottomley Oval in the 80s.

Glenn was one of the hardest hitters ever of a cricket ball and started one with 6, 6, 4, 6 before our captain Mal Freeman yells out “Banger pull a hammy.”

Next ball I knock his stumps over and walked him off all the way to the dressing room, sat next to him as he took his pads off.

Years later we were drinking in a bar together in Melbourne and some bloke asked him “was bowling those wides in the one day international in Perth, the most embarrassing moment of your career.

Glenn replied with “No, 2nd most, this prick here getting me out was the most embarrassing.”

Glenn was such a great player. If he was playing in the modern era of T20 cricket he would’ve been an absolute superstar.
