Listen carefully and you can almost hear the steady drip drip of our heart’s slowly bleeding.
FYI Sir Allen Stanford’s the US millionaire who out of the absolute goodness of his heart and love of a game (which he’d scarcely heard of beforehand) has stumped up a million dollars a man for a Twenty20 slog fest in the Caribbean in November.
In case you missed it the spectacle of Sir Al (as we like to think of him) flying in to Lord’s with a million bucks in a box was surely the least savoury thing since a sugar-coated kilo of sugar in a sugar wrapping.
Of course it’ll eventually be worked out, money doesn’t so much talk as scream at the top of its voice, but it’s sad to see the summer game bowing down before almighty mammon in such a and pointless way.
And you thought we hated the IPL? We’ve got a special bottle of vitriol mixed with bile in store for this one.
