Life in the fast lane

Peter Lalor in The Australian reports how the world's cricketers now have all the trappings of success:-

English playboy-cricketer Kevin Pietersen arrived with celebrity model Caprice on his arm. Jacques Kallis made his way through the airport with fiancee and former Miss South Africa Cindy Nel on hand. Kallis's compatriot Graeme Smith and his girlfriend, bikini model Minki van der Westhuizen, were due to check into the luxury hotel with the rest of the team early in the afternoon. The international cricketers will tell you it's an honour to be selected in the World XI and to play in such a star studded side. A career highlight. The trimmings aren't bad either
