Awkward title to the thread I know, but I couldn't think of a better way.

On Mediawatch tonight, they had a segment about Adam Gilchrist and how, on day two of the 1st test against Bangers, he frequently audibly mentioned the names of various team sponsors during the course of play (he was 'keeping). His goal being to annoy the television networks who were broadcasting the game, and coerce them to turn down the stump-mikes between overs.

Strange, yet amusing. And surprisingly clever.
