I guess that it is tennis balls that are kept at this temperature at Wimbledon. Too warm and they bounce too high and not warm enough a low bounce.
As per usual - get it right when I'm unprepared. Ok. Which famous cricket writer said of which slow bowler - 'He bowls like a millionaire.' And compared him to his compatriot who ' bowled like a miser'. This bowler didn't care too much for figures. Good job, as in one innings, he conceded over 360 runs. I know that's not much to go on, so here is something else. This bowler once bowled to his childhood hero, and had him stumped - by a perfect googly. He said later, 'I felt like a boy who had killed a dove'. So. who was the writer, the bowler and the hero ? (The compatriot isn't necessary!) If it's all too obscure, I'll lead you on...
All part of Australian cricketing folklore: Writer - English cricket correspondent Neville Cardus Bowler - Aussie Arthur Mailey Hero - Aussie Victor Trumper And for good measure, the compatriot was Kiwi-born Aussie Clarrie Grimmett - inventor of the 'flipper'.
And I thought that was difficult! I recommend Arthur Maileys autobiography ‘10 for 66 and all that’. One of the best sporting biographies I have ever read. Anyway-well done. Over to you.
No. The word I'm looking for could be described as a subset under homograph. It possibly could be described as diminutive as there are very few words in the subset. Another example in the subset is the word aunt..
Quite a few if you're thinking English women - and a whole heap if you're thinking men of any nationality.
