Australian cricket legend Damien Martyn has recalled how he briefly became public enemy number one in India - with angry fans even resorting to furiously writing his name on a donkey.
Martyn, 52, was chatting on the Club Prairie Fire page on X - formerly known as Twitter - with fellow greats Adam Gilchrist and Michael Vaughan.
The stylish batsman from Western Australia can look back at the moment now and laugh - but back in 2006, it was a very different story.
Australia had just won the ICC Champions Trophy final against the West Indies over in India - and it was time to celebrate.
Problem was, revered BCCI President Sharad Pawar was taking an eternity to leave the presentation dais.
