Just saw David Collier, senior executive of the English Cricket Board being interviewed at Lords today, saying (his words): ''We believe that the money from Sky TV represents between 40 and 50% of our income.'' If I am interpreting him correctly, he means that he doesn't actually know. Either the ECB, a huge commercial operation, doesn't prepare management accounts and cannot retrieve the breakdown of its recent income streams, or Mr Collier hasn't asked for the information, or he is being deliberately obtuse. At a time when he is meant to be arguing the ECB's financial case, being vague about the figures doesn't make good political sense. See what I mean about the ECB not being fit to manage the business affairs of a hot dog stand?
