Just saw this headline on Cricinfo and had a giggle, very poor choice of words when referring to a South African captain, one day cricket and a major international tournament.
To be fair though Hansie is not alleged to have bet on the games himself, just made it easier for his 'handlers' to do so
I know what they were trying to say, but still......

Not quite in the league of the famous WWII headline:
French Push Bottles Up German Rear
