Langer Branded 'Brown-Nosed Gnome'
Tuesday, February 17 2004
Test opening batsman Justin Langer has been branded a 'Brown-Nosed Gnome' on the official Cricket Australia Website.
During the live coverage of Western Australia and Queensland last Friday, when Langer took a catch he was referred to by the live scorer as a brown-nosed gnome.
The scorer, employed by Wisden-Cricinfo, has been laid off for the remainder of the summer by the site.
Cricket Australia does not provide the live feeds to the Baggy Green site as the site is controlled by the Wisden-Cricinfo enterprise.
While Langer was said to be considering legal action, it is believed he will not follow through after receiving an apology.
He was said to be angered and upset by the incident.
