Breaking news: Simon Taufel threatens to smile

By Will last year, at the end of November Leave a comment on this post

Unconfirmed reports from Delhi indicate Simon Taufel, the Australian umpire, showed signs of smiling in the first Test between India and Pakistan. Danish Kaneria, bellowing a raucous appeal for Sachin Tendulkar’s wicket, begged and pleaded Taufel to raise his finger but Kaneria topped over backwards. Taufel remained unmoved, and initially refused to see the funny side of Kaneria’s unplanned back flip, but the left-hand-side of his mouth did show signs of unfolding into a smile.

His parents and wife declined to comment.
