...I thought it was for the spectators, not the participants.

I was 'watching' the end of the T20 international yesterday, via the medium of live text updates.

The last wicket popped up the attached live text.

I had to do a double-take before I was sure.......

(I had a bet with myself that it wouldn't remain unedited for long - it was about a couple of minutes, but long enough for me to capture ;-) ).

(Warning - it is the BBC but it is a bit "sweary")

"Back in a couple of minutes, chaps".

I was in a traffic queue at the time, listening to the commentary. I loved TMS in those days and like many people would listen to the commentary on the long wave if actually watching it on TV.
