Wellington, Feb 25 (Inditop.com) “Sex, um, success” and “footage of bondage…ahmm, Bondy” — Australian cricketers started their tour of New Zealand with two verbal slips. They are here to play a series of Twenty20 international matches.

Coach Tim Nielsen on arrival Wednesday said: “we haven’t had a lot of sex, um, success over here.”

Thursday it was vice-captain Michael Clarke who got tongue-tied, New Zealand Herald reported.

When questioned about New Zealand paceman Shane Bond, Clarke said he featured high on their game plan. “We’ll have a good look at footage of bondage… ahmm, Bondy,” said Clarke, amid chuckles.

“‘Geez I feel like the coach, what’s going on,” Clarke continued with a grin.
