Up to 177,600 night owls managed to stay awake from midnight to 2am yesterday, to catch David Beckham make a surprise appearance during the closing ceremony.
A surprise appearance? His presence at the closing event was being reported by various other media sources for the last couple of weeks.

"Former Black Caps captain Stephen Fleming has ended speculation and confirmed he is retiring from the New Zealand team to play for the rebel Indian Cricket League."
Ah, no, that would be the IPL. The good one. The ICC sanctioned one.
Nice to see two sets of stats in the same story, too.
[Update: Damn editors. They've fixed it. Not the stats though]
