Editing Hit wicket (section)

===Commentary gaffe===
On 9 August 1991, during a match between [[England cricket team|England]] and the [[West Indies cricket team|West Indies]] at [[the Oval]], [[Ian Botham]] fell over his stumps whilst attempting to hook [[Curtly Ambrose]] and so was dismissed "hit wicket". Later in the day, [[Brian Johnston]] of BBC Radio's ''[[Test Match Special]]'' read out the details of the scorecard as normal. When he came to Botham's dismissal, his fellow presenter [[Jonathan Agnew]] commented that Botham 'just didn't quite get his leg over'. This was a [[double entendre]] meaning that he was not able to avoid hitting his stumps by getting his leg higher than the stumps, and also a reference to sex. Johnston slowly started laughing until he could commentate no more, leaving about a minute of broadcasting being just him in a fit of giggles.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/test_match_special/presenter_profiles/2976173.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |work=Test Match Special |title=Presenter profiles {{!}} Jonathan Agnew |date=3 May 2003 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211206154131/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/test_match_special/presenter_profiles/2976173.stm |archive-date= Dec 6, 2021 }}</ref>
