Prostitution

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/england/7697201.stm

Even by the standards of football this series looks like prostitution.

I can kind of understand KP's gripes and I don't begrudge anyone the chance to earn a million if some stupid billionaire is prepared to give his money away.

But at the same time I've heard it argued by various cricketing experts that the players have no choice but to be there as they are contracted to the ECB.

However they seem to be able to decide for themselves on morale grounds not to go and partake in Mugabe's circus. Maybe next year they could get some credibility back by doing the same to Stanford.
