Let's hope cricket doesn't get like this....

There are those that say that Twenty20 will take cricket into the football world with massively inflated salaries and the players drinking too much and getting themselves into trouble. Let's hope not. And let's also hope that no cricket manager or coach launches the same tirade that Joe Kinnear has if Twenty20 does take cricket into that world. I have total sympathy for him in as much as we all appreciate that much of what is in the papers is deliberately mis-leading headlines and exaggerations of the truth.

But even the least media-savvy person could work out that verbally abusing the press for more than 10 minutes will not do him any favours!
