Like all very good wind ups it has just enough air of plausibility about it.

 

I did wonder when I heard it if the BBC would subsequently have to apologise for GB swearing on air.  Fortunately he didn't.  I gather GB has said that he'll get his own back !

I thought he took it well.

 

I did wonder where the conversation might go while he still thought it was true. There was certainly some room for him to say the wrong thing.

It would not have wiped out his 100th 100 as he got more than 100; even it was true it would have just moved the date venue to Faislabad. However, could those of us who were there at Headingley have then sued ICC for emotional upset etc.

TMS at its best

Indeed. :yes:

 

Who else misses being able to watch the cricket on the TV*, but with the sound off, & TMS on the radio instead? ;) :mosking:

 

*edit; as in on 'normal' channels, pre-Sky Monopoly days. :mad:
