Triple M Cricket’s ‘story off’

Molloy, Skull, Warnie and Tufnell compete for best yarn. 

‘We are about to do something never before heard on cricket, we are having a story off,’ Mark Howard announced during the dinner break last night at Adelaide Oval. 

Each commentator was given three minutes to best the others in a cricket storytelling competition, and some nerves were rattled, with Howard revealing Mick Molloy had ducked off to the Hill of Grace for a few reds, to which Molloy retorted ‘I call it a drinks break.’

‘You prepared by having a wine,’ said Howard, ‘and Tuffnell had to clear his story with the censorship department.

‘And we know, Kerry, that yours will get at least one laugh, and that will be your own.’

Molloy went first, telling a story about a young spectator heckling Pakistani quick Shoaib Akhtar after his throwing allegations, which raised a few laughs, and Kerry O’Keefe then told his yarn, about the highest first class score he ever made — a 99 that he made before getting run out by fellow spinner Ashley Mallett.
