Back in the late 70's, a new, up and coming New Zealand bowler named Richard Hadlee visited the cold and damp Headingly ground in Yorkshire, and was up against one of England's then finest batsmen, Geoff Boycott. As the unknown Hadlee ran in to bowl he was smashed away by the arrogant Boycott for four, who patted the soil with his bat, raised his eyes at Hadlee and said, "My names Geoff Boycott, you'll be seeing a lot of me this summer". Hadlee said nothing and went back to his marker. He ran in again, silence through the air, then Boycott's middle stump was shattering towards the wicketkeeper. Hadlee ran towards Boycott saying, "My names Richard Hadlee, f*** off!!"
