If there was a world record for the number of expletives expelled after being dismissed in cricket, it would have Michael Bevan’s name next to it! The anger and aggression shown to his bat, helmet and pads following his dismissal was unprecedented. If there was a DOCS for cricket gear, I would have called the 1800 number.
Saying that, his self-ridicule and tantrums following a low score often gave his team mates some light hearted humour.
“How many F’s today boys?” Mark Waugh would ask as he framed a quick market for the boys to place bets on an incoming Bevan and how often he would swear.
