Born Lew-sor

As former cricketer Chris Lewis starts a 13-year jail sentence today for smuggling cocaine, the IPL is about to come to close for another year and the Twenty20 World Cup about to start in England.

Lewis' style of bowling and batting would have been ideal for Twenty20. By today's standards the rewards Lewis got financially during his career were limited. One possible (inexcusable) reason for turning to crime.

With cricketers earning £100,000 a week in some circumstances, I bet Lewis wishes he was born 10 or 15 years later.

A sad state of affairs.
