Instructor: Camera 3, just give me a sweep of the crowd. Good. Uh, Brian, stop. Go back. There. Tell me you can see that.

Brent: So, you like cricket, then, kid?

Taylor: It's OK.

Brent: Just OK? So, um... well, what do you like?

Taylor: Space.

Brent: Space? Cool.

Taylor: Do you know about NT7?

Brent: NT7? Um... That's a lubricant, eh? Like WD-40.

Taylor: No, it's an asteroid.

Brent: Oh, OK.

Taylor: NT7 circles the sun every 837 days, and travels in a tilted orbit from the distance of Mars to just within the Earth's orbit. On the 1st of February, 2019, it will hit Earth, causing a global climatic disaster that will threaten the future of civilization as we know it.

Brent: Wow. OK, that's, um... ...pretty heavy sh... stuff there, fella.

Host: Howzat!

Brent: Boys! Heh-heh. Good game, eh?

Doug: Yeah.

Brent: Oh, man, that kid Taylor's pretty full-on. He's got some issues there, I reckon.

Friend: Although he's wrong about NT7. It's gonna miss us by a country mile.

Brent: What do you mean?

Friend: Oh, I read a while back on 'Sky and Telescope', apparently, its course has changed somewhat. Still, don't wanna spoil a kid's fantasy, eh?

Host: Great delivery, and what a HUGE breakthrough.

Instructor: Brian, cue.

Instructor: Yes, he never looked settled at the crease and now he's thrown his wicket away without scoring. Oh, what the hell's that? I believe it's called a 'duck', Allan. Oh, who'd bring a duck to a cricket match? Can't be a real duck. Actually, I think It's what they call a 'shelduck', Allan. Oh, it's a shelduck, Is it? Yeah, it Is. But they're more commonly known as 'parries' over here.
