- Description
Shows a member of the Australian Cricket team sitting on a model of the New Zealand race horse Phar Lap eating a plate of pavlova and talking on the phone about the idea of claiming the Hillary defence. Refers to the very bad relations between the Australians and the Indian Cricketers during the test series in Australia in January 2008. Sir Edmund Hillary was in the news because he died 11th January, 2008 and his famous words 'We knocked the bastard off' referring to his reaching the summit of Mount Everest, are being called on as a 'defence' by the Australians in their use of the same word as a term of abuse against the Indian team.
