[QUOTE="kds1980, post: 194018, member: 1178"] [B]CA issue apology for Panesar tweet[/B] Cricket Australia was compelled to make an apology and hurriedly re-shape its social media policy after the governing body's official Twitter account posted a stock picture of four bearded, turbaned men dressed up as Teletubbies with the caption "will the real [URL="http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/player/18655.html"]Monty Panesar[/URL] please stand up?". Posted in the hour before the start of the second Ashes Test match at Adelaide Oval, the tweet was subsequently removed and an apology posted in its place after the image and the reference to Panesar drew howls of outrage from around the world. Later in the day the @cricketaus account was re-branded as CA Digital Media, "the independent news arm working out of Cricket Australia". A second account has been created under the name @CAComms, described as "official communication from Cricket Australia, the governing body for professional and amateur cricket in Australia". "We certainly apologise for any offense caused with the tweet. It wasn't our intention to offend and it has promptly been removed from Twitter," a CA spokesperson said. "To reiterate, if the tweet was interpreted in a manner that offended Twitter followers, we certainly apologise for that.
