It's not often you aren't happy when one of your photographs features on the 9 o'clock news, but that was the case in Guyana.

I was sitting at the laptop editing pics with the tv on mute in the background when suddenly a photo I'd taken the day before of Eoin Morgan flashed on the screen as the main feature on the evening news.

Not quite knowing what was happening I turned the volume up to find the photo had caused quite a storm after being used in 23 different newspapers in Ireland, the UK and beyond.

No such thing as bad publicity, but in this case there was. The guard who had a young family was fired.

I felt awful, and there was a worry among some of the squad that it wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility that a disgruntled commando could turn his ire on our hotel in Georgetown.

Step forward Adi Birrell, Roy Torrens, and Matt Dwyer who along with myself arranged to meet the head of the country's security forces the next evening.

We pleaded for him to be reinstated and to be fair to the Chief, he agreed and put it down to "World Cup fever."

In my defence it had been raining for three days solid and when Eoin said he had done a bit of shooting and the guard gave him the gun, I couldn't help myself.

I did laugh though when a few days later a West Indian fan was stopped going into the stadium for our game against New Zealand with a water bottle.

Security told him that taking a bottle with a top on was prohibited.

The fan shook his head and shouted: "Hey man, you let Morgan have a machine gun, and you won't let me have a bottle of water. You're crazy brother."

Hard to disagree with his logic though!
