IT MORE EASIER TO BLOW THAN HOLLER (horn vendor)

the sabina park crowd were a horn crowd. the barabados crowd loves to holler. holler is not the right word for it

BRETT LEE BOO

the noise the crowd makes not only exists outside language but can not be described with language. its not hollering, its not screaming or roaring or hooting. it is completely wild. BRETT LEE BOO is as close a description as language can get.

lee v bra v o

big appeal for caught behind a searing bouncer brushes bra v os glove turned down (bra v o is a criminal, the umpire a tief)

the crowd goes BRETT LEE BOO.

lee bowls some no balls, the crowd goes BRETT LEE BOO

lee comes down to the third man boundary the crowd goes BRETT LEE BOO

lee walks away from the third man boundary,takes his hat off hands it to the umpire eady start the next over the crowd goes BRETT LEE BOO

searing awesome yorker hits bra v o on the back foot right in front of middle stump the umpire is a tief (bra v o a criminal) BRETT LEE BOO

the BRETT LEE BOOs somehow get bigger and bigger. Bra v o belts lee for 3 consecutive boundaries BRETT LEE BOO BRETT LEE BOO BRETT LEE BOO

Lee is taken out of the attack and moved to regulation backward point. the crowd chants WE WANT BRETT LEE. west indian crowds don’t really chant together they holler individually and BRETT LEE BOO in wild unison but each crowd members BRETT LEE BOO is an utterly unique vocalisation.

any suggestion that ponting declared early is ridiculous. it would have been a travesty if australia had kept batting after lunch.

every single person in the entire ground was willing xavier marshall to score his first first class century. the universality of this will indicated a desperate feeling that he probably wouldnt get there. close though
