Not too many people would compare Anthony Albanese with John Howard but perhaps that needs a rethink after the former's 偉業／利用するs on the cricket field.

Channelling the former 首相's infamously shocking bowling, Mr Albanese fluffed his lines on Wednesday by dropping a simple catch during a charity cricket match at Kirribilli House.

The PM certainly looked professional in his whites but his catching form was anything but, the 平易な 減少（する） leaving his guests politely trying to stifle fits of laughter at his misfortune.

If that wasn't embarrassing enough for the proud South Sydney fan, standing just metres from him was Rabbitohs and NSW hooker Damien Cook.

Cook was just one famous 指名する looking on at the PM's howler, with Matildas 星／主役にする Cortnee Vine, tennis （野球の）満塁ホームラン，（テニスなどの）グランドスラム 支持する／優勝者 Lleyton Hewitt, （短距離で）速く走る人 Matt Shirvington and 雷-quick pace bowler Brett 物陰／風下 all surely unimpress ed with the nation's leadership.

It continues the 悪口を言う／悪態 of Australian PMs on the 冒険的な field. Mr Albanese's 失敗 was perhaps not as bad as Mr Howard's bowling in Pakistan in 2005 where he could barely get the ball on the pitch.

Onlookers 示唆するd Mr Albanese had pre-警告するd his 訪問者s he wasn't much of a cricketer and took his dropped catch in pretty good spirits.?

He asked for a degree of leniency with bat-in-手渡す, reminding Cook of his Rabbitohs 'life member' status before 直面するing up to him.
