What an odd piece of film. Really bizarre.
As much as it's easy/perfectly acceptable even, to criticise Bret Lee, what on earth was PM thinking?
Like....is he a cricket fan? Does he even understand the basics of the game? What was he expecting from a fast bowler? Does he even know who Bret Lee is? [A retired test cricket bowler too].
I can only deduce that he's utterly clueless about top level cricket, or he needs the publicity. Maybe both are true, but I doubt the latter actually. He surely doesn't need the publicity. He has to clueless about cricket. Surely. Who would want to face that kind of bowling?
Anybody, who has even half an incline about what it's like at the highest level of the game would know that, essentially, the likes of you and I, would have a job even
seeing the damn ball, let alone trying to get a bat to it. If we could see it, we'd be doing really well. As as for playing a shot? Not a cat in hells chance. Sorry, no bloody chance. And PM reckons he's a cricket fan? Yeah, right.
And really, why the hell should Bret Lee treat him like a 12yr old?
"You want to know what it's like in the middle? .....well here it is mate!"
Bit of advice PM - stick to slagging off from the sidelines of a television studio....it's easier.
[And don't mention Bodyline either.......they haven't forgotten
