How do you feel when you walk on the field knowing you're the last to play? How do you feel when they take a new ball and the win is just five runs away? How do you feel when you hear the appeal but the umpire says, "No way"? How do you feel on the very last ball when only a six can save the day? How do you feel when the ball beats the field and clears the pickets on the way? How do you feel? How do you feel? I feel like a Tooheys, I feel like a Tooheys, I feel like a Tooheys or two I feel like a Tooheys, I feel like a Tooheys, I feel like a Tooheys draught brew
They did a whole bunch of them, and cricket wasn't the only sport whose fans they targeted. Rugby (both codes), Australian football, soccer, sailing, horse racing, basketball, surfing (and surfboat racing, another uniquely Australian sport), cycling, ice hockey, rodeo riding, fishing, and Stu B would appreciate this one:
The pitcher looks round from his place on the mound The catcher pounds on his mitt Everyone knows you're no Joe DiMaggio But the game all swings on one hit
He curves it in low, "Strike one!", two to go Your knuckles turn white from the grip The next whistles through and the call is, "Strike two!" The bases are full*, this is it
Well the next one is sly but you've got in your eye It cracks on the bat like a whip The outfielder throws as you're heading for home But you're in by the skin of your hip
How do you feel? Like a Tooheys etc
