Dean Jones is no longer jobless any more. He got a commentary job back with some Australian radio station, and hopes that a bigger TV production will sign him for World Cup etc. Ofcourse commentary is his rozi-roti (bread and butter) so, naturally, I don’t have a problem with him getting a job.
For those who don’t remember, he made a bo-bo on-air in which he said “the terrorist has got another wicket”, when long bearded South African Hasim Amla caught a brilliant catch on the bowling of Nicky Boje in Sri Lanka.
None of us are perfect. We all make mistakes. And the right thing is to own up to your mistakes, apologize and move on. No one is likely to hold a grudge for too long if your mistake was unintentional/carelessness and you sincerely apologize.
Thats all fine, but now what Deano is trying to do is what I call “insult the intelligence” of the viewers. Thats a big no-no for me. Here is what he says:

He added that he had spoken to Amla “three times and everything’s fine”. He added: “In the long run, I wasn’t even really referring to him. What was my comment? And who got the wicket? Amla got the catch, Nicky Boje was the bowler. Just listen to the comment. The terrorist got a wicket. Who got the wicket? I’ll leave it up to you to work out who I was referring to.”
Oh crap! Give it up, dude. Pls don’t try to act like a bimbo now.
