A Lot of pundits were warning this kind of thing will start to happen, but it is inevitable. New Zealanders Daniel Vettori, Jacob Oram and Brendon McCullum want to show up 10 days late for New Zealand’s official tour of England because they want to play in the IPL. The England tour starts April 27th, but these 3 folks want to stay back until at least May 5th.

“I hope I’m available for a number of (IPL) games for obvious reasons but we have to sit back and wait.” Vettori said. I like how he euphemistically says “for obvious reasons“. But you can’t really blame them. If you get a job offer at a new company worth lots more than what your current employer is paying, the urge to switch, and switch fast, is going to be irresistible.
