Source of Joe Previtera article
[edit]Since the Joe Previtera article looks like being deleted, here's the source:
Joe Previtera (also referred to as Joe the Cameraman, Cameraman Joe or Joe the Patsy) was an Australian Channel 9 sports cameraman who is infamous for confessing on A Current Affair (where he was referred to as "Joe the Cameraman") to being the culprit in a widely reported cricket incident in 1999 where a special effects microphone picked up someone saying "He can't bowl, and he can't throw",[1] just after Scott Muller made an inaccurate throw from the outfield during the Second Test match between Australia and Pakistan at Bellerive Oval in Hobart.
The television show The Panel replayed it and the finger was pointed at teammate Shane Warne, who was fielding close to the stump microphone, as the source of the comment.[2] Warne denied it but Muller was unconvinced. The Australian media ran the story as a hot topic for a few days, with much of the general public believing that Warne was guilty, despite a voice analysis expert's opinions to the contrary,[3] and scrutiny of television footage. Previtera had a period of fame, appearing on the Logie Awards of 2000 with Andrew Denton.
Some people, including then opposition backbencher Mark Latham, accused the network of a cover-up,[4] and disputed the truth of Previtera's confession.
Before an AFL game in Perth on May 29, 2009, Richmond footballer Ben Cousins gave the finger in the direction of a camera in the changerooms. When asked after the game to explain why he did this, Cousins replied "I was just saying g'day to Joe the cameraman." In January 2010, Previtera appeared on Channel Nine's cricket coverage re-living the incident and still works as a cameraman in his 15th year.
In Round 1 in the 2010 National Rugby League, Phil Graham (rugby league) crashed into Previtera, after kicking the ball into play from touch.
