On to some stuff from the cricketing world. Kevin Pietersen is quite worried. Andrew Strauss has been "rested" according to sources. But English captains have been removed for other reasons recently. So KP is rightly worried that Strauss has not done a Terry. So will they shake hands when they meet again (Considering that Terry and Wayne Bridge hardly exchanged looks)
Pakistan have hit rock bottom. To give their team a better record in the current season, ISI is organising the anonymously sponsored "Four Nation Stan Cup" featuring PakiSTAN, AfghaniSTAN, TurkmeniSTAN and UzbekiSTAN. By the way Afghanistan are favourites considering they chased 494 to win a first class game against Canada.
New Zealand are researching hard to clone Daniel Vettori. Who would not considering the batting-bowling-fielding-captaincy options provided by a single player. But Sourav Ganguly says the move will not work since it will mean having multiple captains in the same team.
The latest security demands have come from the umpires. They have asked Lalit Modi to provide them with helmets during the IPL considering the belters Indian curators are so famous for. And people new to cricket are asking how come the World 2020 is happening in 2010!
