I hadn't realised what we had started but everyone wanted to be in on it. Many of my mates had said that my Lukie Skywalker hair made me look and bat like Michael Clarke and now everyone was out to try and take my wicket. Apparently Long Hop and a few others had me as the first scalp they wanted. I was at long odds for most people but Long Hop would prove a challenge.
I had a trick that would keep Long Hop off bowling bouncers or yorkers at me and I didn't mind using it. I would offer her my Billy Bragg collection and tell her if I got my century she could take it all or I'd copy it for her. I thought this type of bribery would work. There was no way Long Hop or anyone else was going to take my off stump.
I discussed this with Princess Leah and she didn't think it would work at all. Princess Leah suggested we get the AK-47 out and take Long Hop "out" if she wasn't prepared to comply with such requests. I didn't think this would work as Long Hop had played against the AK before and whilst she was wounded she still made it through. I told Princess I could refuse to stitch her up and that might work. Finally Princess Leah came up with the answer. If Long Hop didn't agree to play the game my way we'd get out the Pantser and blow her all the way to New Zealand. Then she could play for them and that would be enough punishment for her. We would go over and pick her up when we thought she had had enough. It would be worse than gaol.
So we had our answer and all I needed was to discuss this with Long Hop and see what she thought. The hard bit would be keeping this a secret from everyone else. Princess Leeah suggested we just let it out on the blog anyway as we could always deny it.
So here we have it. The Tree House Cricket Challenge is on this weekend. There is no way that I will be bribing Long Hop. I will win and if not Long Hop will be calling you all from New Zealand as that is where she wants to play. If I win and she has all of Billy Bragg on her ipod next week it is because she went to the music shop.
The orders for the weekend are everyone must bring their own meat and beer. The BBQ will be on at the Tree House from 1PM. Honoruru please bring a green salad without onions or chives or stuff. Lamb and Long Hop please bring couscous salad. Dukie and Baby make it gluten free bread or a rice salad. Princess Leah and I will be making potato salad. Everyone else who turns up must be bringing meat and beer and salad. I'll get a bucket of "4064 Tiramisu" for the afternoon.
