What Do You Think This Headline Refers To?

"Umpire Hair is ruled out of Trophy"


It showed up at the top of my Gmail page and I figured they were talking about some sort of trophy for umpires and deciding to nix a particular hairdo for the little plastic umpire that would sit on top.

...turns out that Hair is the name of the umpire, and trophy refers to a Cricket championship.

huh.

You mean you didn't know this was referring to the ICC Champions' Trophy? :P Bloody well Hair should have been ruled out of it! If it were up to me I wouldn't be allowing him to umpire school cricket, the guy's got an ego the size of Australia.

But that's me, the obsessive cricket fan. Back to your regularly scheduled f-list. :)
