Mr. Helpmann : We're fielding all their strokes, running a lot of them out, and pretty consistently knocking them for six. I'd say they're nearly out of the game. Mr. Helpmann : Jill? Yes... Sam I think I ought to tell you. I'm afraid she's upped stumps and retired to the pavillion. Thrown in the towel. Mr. Helpmann : All I can say is don't fall at the last fence.
