South Australian cricketers continue to spread chortles with their deadpan humour. After home town player Travis Head said he had jokingly told Md Siraj “well bowled” only to precipitate one right controversy, a former legend from these parts threw in a wicked line, quibbling about how his statue at the Adelaide Oval wasn’t accurately “fat” enough. The two time World Cup winner was renowned for being part of the most memorable World Cup finals of 1999 (he got winning boundary) and 2003 (he took winning catch), and was known for unfussedly slamming or Boofing his way as part of the middle order and his utility on the field and left arm spin bowling. On Sunday, Lehmann wearing a peach shirt and beige shorts joined in a conversation of some fans, at the Adelaide Oval sunning right next to his statue. ‘Boof’ as he is called, casually said “How are you lads?” strolling into their conversation – something unthinkable in India.
