This is certainly not what we expected to see today. It looked quite a lot like cricketing legend and Sky pundit Sir Ian Botham accidentally tweeted a picture of his middle stump this morning but it seems that he was very, very cruelly hacked.

The image was obviously deleted pretty sharply, but it’s been screengrabbed by braver/crazier souls than us.
If you can bear the scarring to your eyes that will ensue, you can search the social network and make up your own mind.
Here’s how the rest of Twitter has been reacting to the ‘news’ so far.
I just checked to see why Ian Botham is trending. If you don't know, then DON'T LOOK. Trust me on this. DON'T LOOK.

I'm watching highlights of yesterday's Indian innings so Sir Ian's penis isn't even the most disturbing thing I've seen in the last hour.

Not funny now, genuinely can't get the image of Ian Botham's scrotum out of my head. I've got stuff to do.
