He wont be poor from it though.

I don't see that Marks is complaining simply explaining. The fact that KP has bragged that his income has tripled supports those comments.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.

The book interest might fizzle out mid-November, just in time for the announcement of next year's domestic fixtures.

The trouble with an axe is you must get up close and personal with your victim, a high powered rifle from distance is safer, or better still a hired assassin.

Can't get a hired assassin from B&Q though.

Good to know that he has a cricket academy in Dubai. Many cricketers at end of their career set cricket academies so that they can give something back to the game and continue earning as well. Also, as in past he will be one of the most highly paid IPL cricketer for years followed by mentoring and then coaching some IPL team. Commentary for IPL and Indian series is also an alternative for him for decades in future.He was also the brand ambassador for Indian companies last year. That is another big source for his income. He has some very influential contacts with the BCCI and is financially one of the most safest cricketer at this point of time.
