One of the greatest internet memes ever – a superb example of "a picture being worth a thousand words".

If I had to choose just one image to explain exactly how things got this bad, it might be this.

Reminds me of something I read years ago (by The Times's legendary cricket correspondent, John Woodcock), after the latest umpiring controversy.

I can't remember Woodcock's exact words, but it was very much along the lines of: "incompetent they [umpires] quite often are; dishonest almost never".
