'Sex', 'bondage', Aussie cricketers make many a slip

"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.
