The cricketer Bert Oldfield Explanation: The fact that this is Australian and the words "well caught" give this away as a cricketing reference. As Brent helpfully tells us, this is a documentary from 1932, when Oldfield was at the height of his career playing for Australia. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Oldfield -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2021-02-27 17:22:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here's the final paragraph of the transcript in Brent's link, comparing dead rats to cricket scores in somewhat macabre fashion: To avoid further possible re-tailing, the boxes of tricks are tipped into the incinerator, and here you see the monthly average of 2,400 stumps going up in smoke. **Why, it even excels Bradman’s average**. Don Bradman is widely regarded as the greatest batsman of all time. He was playing in 1932. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Bradman |
