having a famous cricketer as Prime Minister

Unfortunately, of course, people will inevitably start using cricketing terms when discussing his behaviour in government.  Once this happens then any meaningful dialogue disappears. Here is a list of sentences that use some of my favourites.

He is not playing with a straight bat.

He has thrown down a googly.
Has he played his last innings?

When will the captain come to the crease?.

What he is doing is just not cricket!

Will he hit them for six?
He has been caught in the covers.

Will the voters be bowled over?

He stumped the opposition party.

He was caught out by his lack of political experience.

It was time to call stumps on his government.

He is definitely batting on a sticky wicket.

Throughout the term of his government, there have been too many dropped catches.

When it comes to foreign policy, he is an all-rounder.
He can play on both sides of the wicket.
He has got plenty of balls to spare.

The opposition has hit him with a bouncer.
His stumps were shattered.

I don't think he will simply walk on this issue.
He was bowled through his legs by the opposition.
He has clean-bowled the opposition.
He had his middle stump knocked out of the ground.
He has hit a ton on the issue of the balance-of-payments deficit.
He was doing quite well until bad light stopped play.
He has overstepped the mark.  
He hasn't got off the mark yet.
When it comes to experience, he is low in the batting order.
He hit a century before lunch.
He can turn his arm to anything.
He is bowling wide of the stumps on this issue
He is batting on a sticky wicket.
His policies have been hit for six.

He lost his footing during the run-up.
