Fitzroy Doncaster played Prahran In Victoria Premier Cricket. We were getting belted everywhere. Neil Schlittler was having a field day and was fast approaching his 100 at tea.

During the tea break I decided I would steal his inners. When the game re-started Neil would not commence batting until his “lucky” inners had been found.

Fitzroy players were heckling him to start and we didn’t have time to wait around until he had found his inners.

Eventually he turned to me and said, “What’s that in your pocket”? I emptied the wrong pocket, eventually having Neil ask your other pocket in which his two lucky inners fell out.

It didn’t end well for me or Fitzroy with Neil ending up with 160 and I was labelled a thief by his teammates.

Still to this day we have banter and a laugh about that day.
