Bowling to the pugnacious David Warner

"Right. Full, straight, middle stump".
Run in. Bowl.
THWACK!
Long on watches as it disappears over his head and into the stand.
"Bugger".

"OK. I'll bounce the little twat".
Run in. Bowl.
THWONK!
Switch-hit pull in front of square disappears over what was cover into the stand.
"Bugger".

"Right, you annoying turd. You'll not see this slower ball coming".
Run in. Bowl.
POWERSPLAT!
It sails over backward point and keeps going, into the second tier.
"Bugger".

"Alright, alright. Back of the hand, pitch on, straighten up, lbw. See how you like these apples".
Run in. Bowl.
KERBLAMMO!
Umpire takes evasive action as it goes flat and hard, straight into the sightscreen.
"Bugger".

"Split-fingered grip. He won't have seen too much of that".
Run in. Bowl.
BOOOOOOOM!
Local air traffic control report sighting of small white object affecting their equipment.
"Bugger".

"Do you know what? Fuck it. Round the wicket, pitch it up, cramp him for room".
Run in. Bowl.
SMASHEROO!
Full toss on his pads, deposited over the dancing girls and into a disbelieving row 23.
"Bugger".
