Kate - 'He has beautiful eyes'.
Ian - ' .... I guess so. And it's been a great century'.
Kate didn't make it to the next Test.
Hey Splinter, I can't recall this chick, what's her surname?
I think her name was Kate Fitz-patrick..??

But let's return to her intriguing relationship with Kerry Packer. Fitzpatrick first met the man she calls KP at a dinner party in 1970. "We argued across the table all night at the top of our voices - I think we liked each other. He's hugely attractive and has a lovely voice." (Fitzpatrick's own voice is clipped and slightly English. It can be haughty and proper, then slide into a sexy purr for the next vignette.)
"He couldn't believe it when I turned down $60,000 to be centrefold in the first issue of Australian Playboy, which he owned. When Channel 9's sports director, David Hill, hired me as the first female cricket commentator for the 1983-'84 Test series, KP bellowed at him: 'Are you f...ing her?' When told no, he responded: 'Well, that's your second mistake!' KP tried to sack me six times during the series, but I wouldn't go."
