Phantom menace

Thanks to reader Tony Hammond, who spotted a story about Derbyshire County Cricket Club changing its name from the Scorpions to the Phantoms, and then suffering from an England and Wales Cricket Board computer system glitch that meant the press release was emailed out to national newspapers not just once, but in some cases up to 7,000 times.
No thanks to Tony, who signs off: ‘Phantoms? Must have been a ghost in the machine.’ Groan!
