Ex-England cricketer Michael Vaughan has an overwhelming feeling of sadness for the entire Kevin Pietersen sacking and management of the situation.

I swipe on over to Cricinfo to confirm the news that, indeed, Biff has retired. Then I look up, and there’s Graeme Smith. The man himself, also having breakfast. He’s deep in conversation with his wife, and he’s clutching at the Protea emblem on his track top.
After the first round of the IPL auction quite a few of the SA players available are still up for grabs at this year’s auction. The big winner so far is Yuvraj Singh, with Royal Challengers Bangalore buying him for a cool $2.33 million. The second highest price tag was for Dinesh Karthik. The Delhi Daredevils bought him for $2.08 million.
No naughty photos. No new text message scandal. Just a breakdown in trust, starting with Pietersen’s dismissal as captain five years ago. That’s what former England cricket captain Andrew Strauss believes, anyway.

A pleasant afternoon of provincial cricket in Australia was brought to life when one of the player’s girlfriends got involved in the action, so to speak. Not having much to talk about in terms of cricket, the commentators turned to one of the players ladyfriends, Yvonne. “Hey Yvonne give us a wave!” At this point, Yvonne made naughty hand gestures.
No doubt you’re well aware that South Africa is in search of redemption after being on the receiving end of a drubbing in the first test against Pakistan. In that spirit, the proteas have started the second test strongly, getting Pakistan all out for 99 runs. And get this, Imran Tahir picked up five wickets for 32 runs. Mental. Get up to speed with the highlights, here.

In yet another magnificent example of art immitating life, what we have here is Australian cricketer, Brad Haddin copping a finger to the eye following a poorly-executed high five by a team mate.
