I saw something today that sent a shiver down my back .. no, not more hooligans at the parents home ... no, not Gordon Brown's being crowned as the new Labour Leader ... it was an ear-piece!
Not the actual ear-piece you understand but where I saw it ... okay ... it was in an ear ... but it was the location of the ear with the ear-piece. Okay ... the ear was exactly where you would expect an ear to be .. on a head ... But it was the location of the person with the ear with the ear-piece in it.
At a cricket match ... not a surprise, many members of the media and TV commentators will have an ear-piece where the producer can yell profanities at them or tell them to wind up coz the commercials on it's way ... But this ear-piece wasn't in the ear of some media crony ... no .. it was on the field ... and no it wasn't the umpire.
Shivers danced down my spine because during a Twenty20 match I witnessed ear-pieces in the ears of the players!!! Visa tried to convince me that the player may have a hearing aid or perhaps he was just listening to his i-pod ... but it soon became clear that a number of them were wearing them!!
Everyone who knows cricket ... knows that this just isn't cricket ... When in 1999 Bob Woolmer chatted to South African captain Hansie Cronje via an earpiece during the World Cup matches, all hell broke out.
What's going on ... someone please tell me!!!
