England think too much

The Superstars won the money.

They wanted to win, they thought about winning, they prepared to win.

And they won.

Some would say that is how you play sports.

England decided on a different tact.

First the selection process was not for a 2020 game, it was the one day squad.

Some new players were made to feel uncomfortable at their selection, like they had anything to do with it.

From there some players were talking about money, some were talking about India, some were talking about playing for their country.

England arrived days before their first game.

They all tried to sound unconcerned about money, even though the game was money.

Then the wags, and Stanford visits got to them.

Then they lost the game.

Peter Moores and KP believe their heads were not in the game.

But who’s fault was that?

With Moores taking shit about what the game was about, and KP telling everyone to respect the crunch of credit, they had their boys all fucked up in the noggin.

They were playing a team who wanted to win, for them it was the about the money.

And they have it.

Apparently KP told Gayle that that the Superstars needed the money more than his boys did.

Perhaps he is a philanthropist after all.

At least he didn’t try to make the Windies Grovel for their money.

He just sort of gave it to them.

If that was the plan, they did it beautifully.

This was the BANDaid of cricket tournaments, shame they never get the really shit hot musicians in.www.cricketwithballs.com... We constantly get sodomized down the legside
