Following on from an earlier post, it seems like curse of advertising on our cricketers continues. KFC have been advertising their new 'it might be chicken' quite prominently throughout the Test series, with advertisements featuring the likes of:
- Mitchell Johnson (seems more occupied with showing off his underwear than with bowling well);
- Steve Smith (see earlier reference);
- Cameron White (recently dumped as T20 captain, though did score some handy club runs of late); and
- David Hussey (who should be on alert for injuries, falling pianos etc).
This trend of advertisers going with useless, washed-up or injured cricketers is really starting to make me wonder, why would they pick these players? Is KFCs advertising budget as cheap as their "food"? Or are they a bit smarter than the rest of us & are really appealing to the common man with common men?
