Strauss gets it right

Red-faced former England captain and Sky commentator Andrew Strauss has apologised to Kevin Pietersen after a foul-mouthed tirade against his former team-mate was accidentally broadcast live.
Strauss, at Lord’s for the match between an MCC XI and Rest of the World XI, believed he was off air during an ad break but was overheard describing South African-born Pietersen as a ‘complete cunt' on a feed broadcast to Fox Sports.
Strauss, also born in South Africa, made the crass remark as Pietersen batted for the Rest of the World. Sky then tweeted an apology before Strauss went on air to say: ‘I apologise unreservedly, particularly to Kevin Pietersen. I am mortified and profusely sorry.’
