athersgeoWell, it's nice to see I'm NOT the only person with a literal mind reading the Cricinfo commentary today.
Pieterson was dropped (just before he retired hurt) and the commentator said: Inzamam is double-teapotting [that is, putting his hands on his hips - don't ask...] and scratching his beard.
Now. I read that and went "Wait; if both his hands are on his hips, he can't be scratching his beard." I, however, did nothing more than boggle (the commentary there can be a little weird and wonderful at times) and move on (seeing as I'm finishing off some programming).
Clearly, though, there were more people than just me who boggled. And some of them emailed in, leading to this: Thank you for the rush of emails explaining my faux pas. Indeed, Inzamam double tea-potting and scratching his beard is anatomically impossible – unless Inzamam has three arms, which we can confirm he hasn’t. Apologies to all – but please, get out more!
*giggles*
Oh dear...
