What's better than a spokesman?

A spokeswoman, with, perhaps, no knowledge of cricket.
Consider, for example, this prime slice of wisdom:

"We felt it would better suit smoother scheduling for our customers if we switched matches."
Carol Wong, a spokeswoman for telecom company PCCW in Hong Kong, explains the rationale behind the decision to cut short the final moments of the Edgbaston Test to switch to the epic between Zimbabwe and New Zealand at Harare

Ahem, I rest my case.
God, I love bureacratic spinmeisters. Though spinster maybe more appropriate in this case.

What, in the name of my third sinus, is "smoother scheduling"?

I think the people involved in "We felt" are the main culprit. They gave her the wrong script to speak!
