Thunderbirds are go

Fantasy Bob's 24 hour electronic monitoirng station intercepted the following conversation earlier today.  This music seemed to be playing in the background.
...........................Hello, Hello - calling International Rescue.

F A B - International Rescue read you.

(the voice is indistinct, out of breath, coughing and choking)..........You gotta send help.....it may be too late.........you gotta send help..............

This is Jeff Tracey International Rescue, please describe to me the situation.

........The Poms have us 98 all out...........  Hussey failed for once........ Mitch Johnson is spraying it all over the place........I let the boys go out with only emergency spinner cover.........  Strauss and Cook are looking solid for 157. .............. You gotta help us. ........... Marketing wanted a 5 day game.... looks like it'll be done in under 3............Please..........

Mr Hilditch I need you to be calm.  Help is on its way...................
At this point the signal went dead.  But it came back shortly afterwards.
Well Brains have you come up with anything?

Um, er, well, er, Mr Tracey.  It's kinda difficult.  I don't think there's um much we can er do.  Even, um, even if Thunderbird 1 were to get Strauss and Cook quickly tomorrow um there is still KP and Bell to deal with.  I don't er think Thunderbird 3 has um the firepower to counter them. We could send them International Rescue's top order batting package, but that is risky against Anderson and big first innnings lead. The sprinkler dance may be the only option.

FAB Brains.  Virgil,  Scott - get the cloudmaker into Thunderbird 5 and get moving.  Get Lady Penelope over there to show them the dance moves.

FAB Father.....................
Will it work?  Desperate times require desperate measures.....don't miss the next episode.  Thunderbirds Are Go.
