[Watching Hodges' opening bowler walking to his mark]
Where is he going?
It's when he comes to you, you want to worry. That ball leaves his hand at ninety five miles an hour. This guy would've been playing for England if the war hadn't started. ["The Bowler" is played by former England fast bowler Fred Trueman.]
What?
I'm gonna enjoy this.
[The Bowler runs in and Mainwaring is beaten for pace and knocked off his feet]
[Laughing] Enjoying yourself, Mainwaring?
He's not bowling at the stumps. He's bowling at me.
