The highest auction bidder for Batting Tips from Tendulker and playing Shane Warne for one over at Lords during today’s Tsunami Match did not pay!! As a result the auction project has been cancelled. The highest bids came from people who had no intention of paying. How could people do that??
MCC was not able to allow the next highest legitimate bidder because of insufficient time. That legitimate winner thought he lost the bid and thus was not ready to come to Lord’s at short notice. The MCC said in a statement: "As the auction ended on Saturday afternoon, there has been insufficient time to arrange for the highest legitimate bidder to come to Lord's."
I guess some sick bus***rd tried to make a joke out of this!!!
