Poor old McDermott. Just getting cosy with his wife, thinks “let’s tape it for the memories,” and some dirty fiend gets his grubby mitts on it, threatens to post it on tinterweb.
A MAN accused of using a sex tape to extort more than $50,000 from former Australian Test cricketer Craig McDermott has been committed to stand trial.
Boat detailer Peter Josef Vigan, 36, of Oxenford, appeared in Southport Magistrates Court today charged with one count of demanding money with the threat of a detriment.
Vigan originally faced eight separate charges but following negotiations between his lawyer Bill Potts and the prosecution it was reduced to one charge covering four allegations.

Found via Cricinfo:
“You’ve still got to have the courtesy to say: ‘Are you all right mate? You OK?’ I said to a number of their players: ‘This isn’t a war, this is a game’.”
Justin Langer after Ricky Ponting was hit in the cheek by Steve Harmison on the first morning at Lord’s. Ponting’s cut from the grille of his helmet required eight stitches
The only question I’d ask would be: why? Have Glenn McGrath, Jason Gillespie, Merv Hughes, Craig McDermott and other Aussie fast bowlers of the past 15 years be known to ask after a batsman’s health or wellbeing? I didn’t think so. It was a nasty incident, but perhaps Langer forgot that England were (and still are – I refuse to be downbeat!) up for a fight on that Thursday morning, and weren’t going to bend over backwards to see if Ponting was ok.
I can’t help feeling that the Australians aren’t great at receiving bullying tactics, but they’re past-masters at dishing it out.
