Playing for Mosman v Manly at Manly Oval, it could have been a Poidevin Gray game. I was bowling my rolling offies to, I think I got this right, Steve Colby, big unit, really good player that opened or was top order batsman for Manly. If it wasn’t you Steve it’s a good story anyway.

As I could from time to time, I offered my opinion about Steve’s ability to hit the ball off the square. The next ball disappeared out of the Manly Oval bounced into the intersection at the Raglan Street end and rolled across the road into the tackle shop on the corner. Steve responded with “Is that f#%king far enough for ya” I think my response was “Yup”
