Navjot Sidhu guilty of manslaughter

Jesus. Navjot Sidhu killed a man.

Navjot Sidhu is the former Indian opening batsman who many people will know for his unique commentary style. A Sidhuism is a particularly flowery piece of comment or an unusual simile. Examples include: 'The Sri Lankan score is running like an Indian taxi meter' and 'statistics are like miniskirts, they reveal more than they hide'.

We'd always found Sidhu to be weirdly amusing, but not so any more. In a road rage incident, back in 1988, he beat a man to death. Today he was found guilty and sentenced to three years in prison.
