Darren ?Boof? Lehmann

Adelaide: In what promises to be a spectacular show, a charity race between the two slowest members of the Australian and New Zealand cricket teams, has been arranged with full-length body suits.

Black Caps? opening batsman Mark Richardson has thrown the gauntlet at senior Australian batsman Darren Lehmann to a mouth-watering 100m race at the Adelaide Oval after the second Test, which gets underway on Friday.

A figure-hugging, full-length bright yellow and green body suit is being sent from New Zealand for Lehmann ? known as ?Boof? ? to wear, while Richardson, not to be outdone, will sport a skin-tight 1980s beige and brown NZ one-day outfit, complete with Cathy Freeman-style hood.

Dour left-hander and noted prankster Richardson, who is nicknamed ?Rig? (as in rigor mortis), regularly challenges the slowest member of the opposition after every New Zealand Test match series.

The ?Boof versus Rig? race was given the green light last Wednesday when Lehmann said he would, fitness permitting, answer Richardson?s challenge.
