CMJ gets the giggles
Christopher Martin-Jenkins, the former chief cricket correspondent of The Times, and BBC's Test Match Special commentator "corpsed" live on air yesterday when he referred to a batsman's "rod" in an elaborate fishing analogy while Daniel Vettori was at the crease.
"But Vettori stays on the bank… and keeps his rod down, so to speak." Cue giggles, and near-uncontrollable laughter from CMJ's colleagues. "I don't know if he is a fisherman, is he?"
The Guardian has the audio of the blooper.
