International Debutant
In the Melbourne Test of 1882, having just launched another typically categorical drive to the boundary, George Ulyett shook his bat about vigorously in front of him, took a few steps away from the wicket and then held up the offending willow for all to see. The following dialogue ensued:
"What's oop, George?"
"Ah've broken me bat!"
"Wheer's t'other?"
"At back o't'door!"
This was repeated gleefully by the crowd for the remainder of the match.
