LINES TO LARWOOD
Sure our batsmen could not stop, Larwood got ’em on the hop Yes he caught ’em well and true, Some were black and somo were blue. Only those escaped scot free. Who were out for two or three. Nor fclieir pardon did he heg When, he pitched ’em on the leg. ’Twas the crowd kicked up a din When ho struck ’em on the shin; When, he knocked ’em on the head, AVell, th e ban-ackers saw red. But this i s what I say, Ale, Bill Sutch,; who. used to play With the boys at Springy Creek — Take,the knocks and do not squeak. Though the outlook’s pretty black What five got wo can give hack. With a little interest, too. Larwood, my respects to youBut I’ve got a deep set hunch Bradman will get hack his punch; A warm time’s coming, sure as fate— So wait, Larwood, just yon:-wait. —Jaboree, in Melbourne Globe.
