In case you missed it, Australia have secured a decisive 2-0 victory over the West Indies in the Frank Worrell Trophy series in Jamaica, as they prepare to head off to merry old England for the Ashes.
Former test cricketer Brendon Julian had one job – to present the trophy to Michael Clarke – but what should have been a formality will live on in infamy thanks to one of the most unfortunate gaffes you could possibly make:
“The Sir Wank Forrell Trophy” – Brendon Julian joins Sandy Roberts in commentary folklore! #WIvAUS https://t.co/S3hL2j6kb7

“And the cheque and the trophy for the Sir Wank … Forrell Trophy has been retained by Australia,” said Julian, leaving an ocean of a pause between the two words before realising it was better to just press on through.
Australia have held on to the Frank Worrell Trophy for the past 20 years – ‘Wank Forrell’ may well follow Julian around for the next 20.
