Subject: RE: BS: Anyone for cricket?
In 1937, the Reverend T. McVittie, Moderator of the Sydney Presbytery, said,

    "If Christ came to Sydney today He would be on 'the Hill' at cricket matches driving home the lessons of the game.

    "One can imagine Christ reminding the crowd that Satan was the deadliest and most determined googley bowler of all time."

Indeed one can, should one happen to know what a "googley bowler" is or was. I myself feel that it must be some sort of hat.
