Team player who loved being part of the England fold? http://metro.co.uk/2012/08/19/kevin...-africa-how-to-bowl-to-andrew-strauss-542092/
Right the England players all sign up to a central contract. maybe worth with sponsor deals a million pound. That means his country doesn't pay him and is a reason you will hear the expression Team England or the 19 county. They say when he plays cricket and you will often hear people say that England players don' play enough for Yorkshire or Surrey or Lancashire say. Well thats down to the the ECB. They the ECB will say, well we don't want our best players been over worked and they will to rest players. To be fair to the ECB England do play just about the Most cricket out of any of the teams when you look at travelling then they do have a point. The ECB at first tried to stop KP playing IPL cricket and he doesn't play any of the Caribbean league, Big Bash or Bangladesh, NZ t/20 and theres more. KP clearly loves to play for England and win for England but he does play IPL for about 2/2 and half weeks per year. Well that's mean hes gone from earning estimated 3 million for the 6 weeks to 600/700k for the two weeks and hasn't been able to get top dollar because he normally only plays the start of the comp. Now if he was the player that people are saying and he only cares about KP, he would have told the ECB to get lost and got freelance. By going freelance I think he could quite easily get 5 million a season plus.

So why did he appologise for sending them then ? Sorry I have stayed out of this thread so far , but you are talking ballax !! http://metro.co.uk/2012/08/15/kevin...nce-after-admitting-provocative-texts-537036/
