Agree, does seem a little bit OTT and verging on Princess Di territory, great cricketer though he was. Good excuse for a visit to Oz for some though I guess (saw the MCC Chair being interviewed on the news this morning - 'important we were represented' etc )

I’ve just finished reading his autobiography.

He was a bit of a rogue,but, by Christ, what a cricketer.

Well, searching those stories for "masseurs" comes up with no hits either.

Not my media, Google search engine using Chrome - if you can't [or won't] post a link to this "two masseurs" story, I'm going to have to call it fake [aka unsubstantiated] news ....
