The highlight of an online sports journalist's career - reporting live from The Ashes. You're at the ground, you've got your laptop, you've got your press pass, the second day's play is about to start. What could possibly go wrong?

Don't ask BBC Sport's Scott Heinrich that question.

It’s one hour before the first ball on day two of the second Ashes Test and I can tell you that the four walls of the South Australian Cricket Association administration office are very, well, clean.

I’m stuck here for the time being, intercepted at the gates by the SACA fashion police because of crimes committed against… the collar. I’m not wearing one.

I knew members were required to adhere to dress regulations which state that men must wear collars. I had no idea the same rules applied to the media. As a colleague just pointed out to me, “when did anyone care what journalists wear?’.

A friend of mine is bringing a collared shirt for me. Soon I’ll be in. I hope it’s a pink number. Geoff Lawson said yesterday pink was in for blokes this summer.

I hope my good friend and colleague Andy's taking heed of these developments in the policing of journalistic attire. I'd hate for him to be thrown out of Aldershot v Basingstoke tomorrow for wearing "away colours"...
