Meme for a boring Friday

A typically splendid ball by ball commentary on the cricket early this morning is now circulating the web rapidly this afternoon. At least four people have emailed me, two urging me to take a look before the bosses take it down, one pleading with me not to tell anyone Upstairs. Tom at Plasticbag has even written about it in a post entitled "Meltdown at the Guardian". Guys: the guys on the GU sportsdesk have been producing some of the most consistently entertaining sports reportage on the web for years. Although I'm delighted they're finally getting the recognition they deserve, the conspiracy theorists should really take a lie down in a darkened room... or a dip into the archives.
