Ross “Mullet” Graham scored 144 not out in second grade against Tintenbar. After Stan Thompson remarked that someone would need to get 150 runs in order to win the game, Ross claimed he would be the one to do it. In reply, Stan Thompson offered to buy him a keg if he did. Buoyed by this type of motivation, Ross smashed sixes “every which way” as darkness crept across the field. The game was won with Ross just six runs short of his target. He may not have received the keg but had a few most enjoyable beers after the game.
