    Eddo Andrι Brandes (born 5 March 1963, Port Shepstone, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa) is a former Zimbabwean cricketer who played in 10 Tests and 59 ODIs from 1987 to 1999, spanning four World Cups. In the days when a number of Zimbabwe's players were amateurs with other full-time professions, Brandes was a chicken farmer.
    He took a hat-trick in an ODI against England in January 1997 that is still regarded as the highest in terms of total average of the batsmen dismissed.[1] Only two months short of his 34th birthday, he remains the oldest player to have taken an ODI hat-trick.
    He gained fame for his noted and oft quoted exchange with Glenn McGrath, after McGrath gets frustrated at being unable to dismiss Brandes. The bowler asked: "Why are you so fat?" to which Brandes replied: "Because every time I fuck your wife she gives me a biscuit."[2] As of 2003 Brandes had moved to Australia to pursue a coaching career, and was formerly coaching the Sunshine Coast Scorchers who play in the XXXX Gold Brisbane Grade Competition. He now runs a tomato farm on the Sunshine Coast.[1]
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Further checking indicates my memory is at fault (not for the first time):

    Glenn McGrath v Eddo Brandes
    McGrath was bowling to the Zimbabwe number 11 - who was unable to get his bat anywhere near the ball.

    McGrath, frustrated that Brandes was still at the crease, wandered up during one particular over and inquired: "Why are you so fat?"

    Quick as a flash, Brandes replied: "Because every time I make love to your wife, she gives me a biscuit."

    Shane Warne was the target of another one. As one of the English batsmen came to the crease for the first time in a series, a portly Warne said to him, "Ive been looking forward to this all winter."

    "It looks like you spent the whole time eating". came the reply

    From a ''smelly glove'' thread Owl responded to an undies analogy with...

    ''Not quite the same thing Maha. It's not normal to have "cheese 'n' chocolate" in your gloves''
