Where is your bread buttered..?

Cricket entertains me about as much as a Blue Bulls rolling maul, but watching English sportsmen lose at anything I do find mildly relishing. However, watching English sportsmen lose at anything whilst their wags get fondled pitch side by a 58 year old texan billionaire is something fantastic.

Smile KP, that´s what I paying ya-four...

I am not going to get weighed down by unnecessary detail here and you can google the Stanford 20-20 yourself if you don´t already know more than me but the important gist of it is that Sir Allen Stanford, donated an island full of money to host a 5 match cricket series - played in the shortened 20-20 version of the game - with the prize money of $20million dollars, and the game would basically happen in his own backyard as he is a citizen of Antigua Barbados.

England is playing a West Indian all star XI for the pot.

Lovely, very philanthropic, please see previous post, but here is the kicker.

Stanford has been caught in a compromising situation whereby he has had to apologize to certain English players after been caught flirting with some of their wags.

Hop into Daddy´s saddle there ya´all.

This from the guardian.co.uk:

After being filmed flirting with the wives and girlfriends of England's cricketers, Sir Allen Stanford has apologised for his behaviour. The billionaire backer of the Stanford Super Series was caught on camera on the England player's balcony with his arm around two women, including Alastair Cook's girlfriend Alice Hunt, while he bounced Matt Prior's pregnant wife, Emma, on his knee.

Who says money can´t buy you everything. Priceless.


Probably regretting not hosting the English football side...
