    The story is told with the 1948 tour of England.

    Aust vs Hampshire.

    Small ground. The entire Hampshire had watched the Nottinghamshire game the prior 4 days, where Lindwall had taken 6 wickets from 15 overs with only 10 scoring shots being played off him in the whole 1st innings.

    Lindwall is bowling the first over, and the third ball takes an edge, the fourth flies to 3rd (!) slip and the 5th takes out the stump. It is reputed that Lindwall turned about and made the comment to the umpire before the ump had decided what to do.

    According to Alan McGilvray Bradman refused to comment but McGilvray swore it was true, in his book "Lifetime in Cricket".
