Incentive
K.Pietersen on the Stanford tackfest.
"My message to those younger players is that if you play well for England over the years, you will earn that type of money and earn more than that."
Wonder what K.Barrington would have made of that motivational jewel from England's captain.


To be fair to KP, wasnt this an attempt to stop them being motivated instead by the $1 million on offer at the Stanford game?
I'm sure this fine piece of man manangement will work.
I'm not a fan of pietersen but I think he's been put in an invidious position by the ECB on this one.
I've found another thing (the 4,836,287,098,815,459th) that winds me up about Pietersen. He's developed a habit of talking - even when saying quite banal or serious things - while all the time smiling a big empty, pointless smile. Just as Margaret Thatcher used to do.
And the similarities between the two do not end there.
He's also got a funny walk.
