I said I  had played before he was born - without helmets and thigh guards, on  matting wickets that were full of holes and stones, and I had my share  of broken bones to show of it. My friend the Australian foreign minister  was drawn into the fray. He phoned me. We decided to cool things  down... When the whole episode was over I sent a bouquet of flowers to  my Australian counterpart.
