Taken from the BBC website - a bit OTT but what the heck - WE WON !!!!!

Freddie hits the winning run straight down the pitch - ENGLAND HAVE WON A GAME OF CRICKET! Dame Kiri te Kanawa, Peter Jackson, Neil Finn, Sir Edmund Hillary, Jonah Lomu - we have beaten them all! Helen Clark, can you hear me? Your boys took one hell of a beating! By three wickets...with one ball to spare...sorry, it's just been so long...




Shame he could only think of 6 famous New Zealanders ???

'Lord Nelson! Lord Beaverbrook! Sir Winston Churchill! Sir Anthony Eden! Clement Attlee! Henry Cooper! Lady Diana!Maggie Thatcher! Your boys took one hell of a beating! Your boys took one hell of a beating!'
Said by Bjorge Lillelien on Norwegian TV
When Norway beat England 2-1 in Oslo in a World Cup qualifier in Sept 1981

The Argies picked up on that and on 2 April 1982 thought they would have a go .. trouble is they picked our best sport .. fighting like f'k !! I'll bet old Bjorge had a bad dream or three over that..

But he managed to name 8 famous English people off the cuff

The BBC writer could only manage 6 even with time to research !!!

PS I did recognise the parody - old age showing again
