He will ban out-right any drunken cricketer, regardless of his success or importance to the team. <BR/><BR/>The highest levels of any area of life always has interesting characters, or, if you like, "flawed geniuses" and the management of these individuals requires attention to their particular demands. Imposing draconian rules and systems does not encourage excellence or creativity. <BR/><BR/>You might say, “it’s a bloody stupid thing to do” and you may well be right.The Atheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314238450779293325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37894328.post-36939636321668953222007-09-30T08:22:00.000+00:002007-09-30T08:22:00.000+00:00For an image-obsessed organisation ECB do seem to ...For an image-obsessed organisation ECB do seem to be totally crap at PR. Giles has now nailed his colours firmly to the mast -what does he do if in a future game England's match winner/saviour is subsequently found in a lapdancing club/vodka bar/massage parlour afterwards? <BR/><BR/>Besides, for Clarke to qoute the example of the "Fredalo" is dubious; the only truly verifiable facts are that a) Flintoff was drunk, and b) there was a pedalo on a beach. Or are we saying that a professional sportsman must never get drunk?<BR/><BR/>But your guest columnist from last week hit the nail on the head. You can get away with all manner of pecadillos if you're winning. For example, it's fair to say that Glenn Hoddle's comments about disability, whilst enjoyably bonkers for the rest of us, might not have cost him the England football manager's job if the team's performances had been satisfactory.<BR/><BR/>Paul<BR/>Wakefield UKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37894328.post-79818372942401330692007-09-30T06:47:00.000+00:002007-09-30T06:47:00.000+00:00can i have your e-mail id? was looking for some ad...can i have your e-mail id? was looking for some advice. thanks - amitAmit Bajajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429759992788315125noreply@blogger.com
