One of the most stupid...
Warwickshire 187 for 3 (74 overs). Trott 15. Troughton 5.
I think I've just asked one of the most stupid questions in the history of sports journalism. I bumped into Ian Bell downstairs and, keen for an opinion on Ian Westwood's lbw decision (the press-box is at wide long-on), asked him: "Did you see Westy get out?"
He did. He was batting at the other end at the time.

Thats a classic
You should be sacked.
I was at the Argentina v Nigeria World Cup game in Boston US in 1994. I was wearing a baseball hat with "Nigeria" emblazoned on it, a shirt reading "Go Nigeria!", and was carrying a Nigeria flag. I was with a crowd of about 20 other Nigerian fans, all similarly attired
I was interviewed by a French TV journalist.
He asked me who I wanted to win.
That's a cracker, Kim. The art of the incisive question!
Another journalistic skill, meanwhile, is that of the pithy question. And here, too, today I had a bit of a nightmare.
Talking to Darren Maddy after play my first question was so long, rambling, convoluted and fatuous that at one stage it appeared that Mads would actually have time to get back to the hotel and have a night's sleep and a good breakfast and then return, refreshed, in the morning to hear me finally lumber to my point. A shocker.
Aye. In batting terms, today I bagged a pair!
