I believe that "Lay Down Sally" was coined by one of Australia's bigger
daily rags - I do not recall which; maybe the Cape York Chronicle - or was
it the Bunbury Bugle - whatever?

I must say, that, true Kiwi sports fanatic that I am, and having just
witnessed our identical twin double scullers [who make Elle Macpherson look
like a Russian weightlifter] obliterate the field in their race, the sight
of Robbins, in a fit of Australian overconfidence, taking 40 winks,
mid-race, was a joy to behold!!!!! :-)))

(Don't mention the cricket!!!!!!!)
