Thomas, it was actually "don't swat the flies, Jardine, they're the only friends you've got in Australia. "
During the same tour, he appeared at the Australian dressing room door to protest to our Captain that an Australian player had called him a bastard. The Aussie skipper spun around to his team and asked, "alright then, which one of you bastards called this bastard a bastard?!"
Same fly tale, different recollection?
Probably the most famous quotes attributed to Jardine are "All Australians are uneducated, and an unruly mob" and, when told that Aussies in turn didn't think that much of him, "It's ....... mutual".
Someone in the MCC/English establishment is supposed to have said when Jardine was appointed Captain for the tour something along the lines of "He may win us the Ashes, but he'll probably lose us a Dominion."
Anglo-Aussie history, wonderful thing.
Roll on the Adelaide Oval on 5th December!
To get back to the golf, this Fanatics business at World Cup of Golf is appalling and the golf authorities should have jumped on it much quicker.
All the best.
