Hmm thats rightRyder is the best brand ambassador Mallya could hope for
Well that's how it appeared following all the news headlines that he was in for it. I was simply posting what was being reported on NZHerald, Stuff, and other internet news sources and my comment was a question based off those reports. Don't see where I was signing off a death warrant, so that's obviously just an overreaction on your part.
Good news.
He has been extra careful, the media has just proven that it is ready to pounce, he had a drink and nothing happened and all of a sudden there is another Ryder incident. Despicable from the NZ media.
That's because he's the big-name in NZ Cricket though. Just like Symonds, Beckham, etc. Always looking for a story on the stars and it's to be expected really. The nature of modern day sport.
There is a certain level of distance between Ryder and Symonds let alone Ryder and Beckham. You'd think our media would have learned something after the Veitch escapade.
Yes, there's of course a large level of distance between them, but I was referring to the big names in sport across NZ, Australia and England. They all get treated pretty much the same way by their local media, but it comes with the territory of being a big star.
To be fair the article you linked to just contains the kind of damage limitation PR spin from his management one would expect after an alleged incident. The fact they felt the need to would increase rather lessen lessen my suspicion anyway, so I don't think it's unreasonable to pose the question given his history of booze related woes.
