==Controversy==
Since Watts's expulsion from the Cricket World Cup, fans have been leading protests against the IPCC and do not wish the competition to be continued. They feel it is a tragedy that such an event happened, and thus far their protests have fallen on deaf ears. The famous pagan feminist Lewis Newburn is rumoured to be leading these protests, and said these words: "What has happened has been a tragedy, and I think that those allowing the competition to continue should really take another look at their priorities in life."
