No, that was Gillespie.

His barber gave him one of those fashionable 'greasy gyppo' cuts and those nasty Barmy Army people gave the poor bloke a hard time, made him cry and basically stopped him performing. They wouldn't so much as buy a peg, let alone his 'lucky heather'. Then, to add insult to injury, after Gillespie had been wheeled off to the Bounce-a-Wee home for worn-out bowlers, they turned their foul attention on Shaun Tait - and for what stupid reason? Because he's crap.

How unfair is that?
