Ian Bishop
West Indies cricket great Ian Bishop, currently commentating in the cash-rich T20 2018, was pleasantly surprised when a fan mistook him for the departed Caribbean legend Malcolm 'Macko' Marshall, who passed away in 1999. If that wasn't enough, the fan, after correcting himself, committed another faux pax when he addressed Bishop as 'Mr Holding'.

However, Bishop saw the lighter side of the whole episode when he related the incident in a tweet yesterday. "So I'm in the line to board my flight this morning & a young guy, looks about 25yrs, just said he knew my face from somewhere & asked if I was Malcolm Marshall (God rest his soul). I politely said; sorry I'm not.
