Cricket WAGs Maybe Barred From Tours

Monday, January 8th, 2007

Cricket WAGs following their partners on tour, could be a thing of the past.
cricket wags English cricket has been humiliated by the Australian’s. The 5- 0 whitewash in the Ashes, was their worst performance since 1921. The English Cricket Board (ECB), look to be offloading some of the blame on the WAGs.

The ECB has requested a review of its much criticised decision to allow the wives and girlfriends (WAGs), following suggestions the WAGs had become a circus’ distracting the players, much like the football WAGs in the 2006 World Cup.

It’s understandable that the cricket authorities are taking a view on the situation as the entourage that accompanied the 16 players and 12 backroom staff had reached more than 90 people at one point.

Some of the cricket WAGs are high profile names in their own right;

Jessica Taylor, fianc ée of Kevin Pietersen, is in pop band Liberty X and Andrew Strauss’s wife Ruth, is an Australian actress. Whereas some of the ‘wannabies’ have been more of a concern. For example, England’s captain Andrew Flintoff was accompanied by his wife Rachael Flintoff since before the First Test six weeks ago.
