Self protection OZ style

[Warrigal]

Apparently the good burgers of Melbourne are a bit worried about home invasions.

The solution?

 

[Debby]

Would that be more 'true to your cultural heritage'?

 

[Falcon]

Ha HA Wound but don't kill. That's cricket.

 

[Warrigal]

That's it, Falcon. Hit his googlies for six.

 

[Susie]

Ha, ha, W. The 'invaders' not far from here, sure a bat will scare them to death!!!!! :help1:

 

[Ralphy1]

Strange, very strange...

 

[Debby]

'Hit his gogglies'? What does that mean? Sounds like something out of toddlerhood.

 

[Shalimar]

​Hmmm. Are googlies testicles?

 

[Pam]

No... they would be goolies.

I'll leave it to Warri to tell you what googlies are. nthego:

 

[Warrigal]

A googly is a delivery of the ball to the batsman where the spin on the ball causes it to break in the opposite direction to that anticipated.

The leg-spinner's prize weapon - bowled properly, a googly is almost undetectable.

A googly, or "wrong'un", is a delivery which looks like a normal leg-spinner but actually turns towards the batsmen, like an off-break, rather than away from the bat.

Unlike a normal leg-break, a googly is delivered out of the back of the hand, with the wrist 180 degrees to the ground.

I actually had to look that one up because of course I was using a form of rhyming slang and was referring to an altogether different kind of ball.
