He split open nostrils, sawed off legs, pulled out livers, screwed pelvises to cake stands and nailed heads to coffee tables, but he was a smashing bloke who used to buy his mother flowers and that. "He was like a brother to me."
"The portrayal of Kerry as a constant bully and user of foul language is far from the truth. He could bully. I saw him on many occasions rise up like an out-of-control bull elephant and reduce a grown man to tears. I heard him swear like a storm trooper when out of control. But I never saw him chuck a plate of food."
Meanwhile, the rest of the article supports the notion that King Spruiker Dennis Lillee would say anything for money, and nothing unless he was paid.
Dennis uses different voices depending on what he's flogging. He can be all come-hither for one product, and have his "steel toecap boots are serious biz" stern levels turned up to 11 for another.
But coz he's always been a hairy chested yobbo by looks as well as deeds, there are guaranteed chuckles to be had when he tries to go a bit soft sell. It ends up being a barely disguised come-hither sledgehammer, or it's all "G'worn. G'worn, please. G'worn buy it. Buy it coz I'm Dennis, g'worrn."

But I collected the three labels and sent away for the first set of Ardmona WSC cricket cards, and all the Windies were wearing pink. What gives?
