Kerry O’Keefe sent Fox Cricket’s commentary team into meltdown on New Year’s Eve with some jokes
A strange incident unfolded during the Strikers’ loss to the Scorchers at Adelaide Oval when a duck landed on the pitch.
‘Oh!’ He joked, before letting out a big laugh.
‘I don’t even know what to say,’ another commenter added, while the other responded: ‘Excuse me, that would be your first word.’
But Skull continued, speaking of the bird: ‘Now wash your feet before you meet anyone!’
“I dare anyone to dive into that area to fish,” he added, letting out another of his characteristic laughs.
“Damien Huff is the best healer in Australia, he goes around with a pooper scooper,” he said, again howling to himself.
“Does Polly want a cookie?” he added, before saying: ‘(He) didn’t pay to get in!’
The Australian cricket legend has long made fans howl with his phenomenal one-liners, even cracking a few during this week’s Boxing Day Test.
On Tuesday, he also offered a warning to young batsman Sam Konstas, who enjoyed a sensational debut this week in the Boxing Day Test.
O’Keefe began making jokes about the bird after it pooped on the grass, while challenging one of the players to dive into that specific area of the field.
O’Keefe has also pointed out how young star Sam Konstas can improve his batting, saying the 19-year-old plays with his hands too much and loses his front shoulder.
The 19-year-old plundered a half-century off 42 balls and posted a score of 60 in the first innings.
But O’Keefe believes India have found a problem in the young batsman’s game that the opposition can exploit in Sydney.
“Suddenly they’ve spotted a flaw in their first Test that will go around the world,” O’Keefe told Fox Cricket.
‘Sam’s front shoulder, he loses it completely and just plays with his hands.
‘He’s pushing his hands toward the ball away from his body. The gap was created and (Jasprit) Bumrah crossed it,” he added, talking about Konstas’ dismissal for just eight runs during Australia’s second innings.
“You don’t need too many invitations.”
