Sir Richard Hadlee was on TV to talk cricket - but viewers saw more. New Zealand and Canterbury cricket legend Sir Richard Hadlee's appearance on last night's Seven Sharp has raised eyebrows after viewers noticed a risque title perched on his bookshelf. A Twitter user noted the "very interesting areas on the great Sir Richard Hadlee's bookcase" and shared his findings. Cricket fans were tickled by the revelation, with one suggesting the book gave new meaning to Hadlee's 'Paddles' nickname. Some questioned whether the legend has been set up, while another wondered whether Hadlee "thought it was a book about hair colouring".
