By The Spotter
No trans-tasman test match from 1946-1974
The Snedden no-catch
The Underarm problem
Misled by Matthews
Dudded by Greg Dyer
Ripped off by Dick French
Clobbered by Inzy
Hoodwinked by Haddin
Sawn-off by Llong
Dark horses
Gallant losers
Underdog battler stereo-type forever now cast in stone
Spirit of cricket
Shining examples of men
Nice guys

Should be idolised
Just want to see a good game of cricket (shit on it; I wrote that)

WIN
