His latest tweet is worthy of KP:
<I've heard if you earn minimum wage in England you're in the top 10% earners in the World. #stay #humble @stuartbroad8 January 27, 2015 >
Stuart Broad earns more than £500k a year from his England central contract. Sponsorships, endorsements, media fees and other perks of his privileged position push his annual income towards £1 million.
The stewards at many of the smaller county cricket grounds in England are paid £6.50 per hour.
Many years ago when Matthew Parris was a Conservative MP and said some silly things about the alleged over-generosity of state benefits, he then bravely accepted the challenge of a TV company to test his comments by living on benefits for a week and making a documentary film about it. (The experience totally changed his mind, btw). Can I suggest that after the World Cup, Stuart Broad spends a week doing a dead-end job at £6.50 per hour and Sky Sports films it?
He clearly has a brain the size of a pea.

He clearly has a brain the size of a pea. "In 2011 in an article headlined “My first million” Broad told the Financial Times: “I never look at things from a financial point of view but if you play well the money looks after itself. Half my earnings are from the England contract and win bonuses and half from sponsors such as Adidas, who make my cricket bats.” He said in the same piece: “I was probably worth £1m two or three years ago, when I was 23,” and added, “like every member of the squad I get to drive a Jaguar XKR free of charge because Jaguar is our sponsor." Easy to see that he still doesn't look at things from a "financial point of view". #stayhumble #staystupid #keeprich

'Broady' also fixed up his sister Gemma with a cushy, well-paid sinecure as an 'analyst' on the England backroom staff. You can see her at every England game. Whenever the Sky cameras pan to the dressing room, there she is looking earnestly at a laptop, presumably analysing how much her brother is paid per over and other crucial metrics of his central contract...

KP was wrong - it seems muppets are sometimes paid a lot more than £18k !
But Broady has now apologised.
<No offence meant and sorry if any taken. The hashtag was aimed at myself.>
<Clarifying my earlier tweet, I merely wanted to emphasise my amazement at just how big the world is.>
Amazing that the world is big. Even more amazing that it took him 74 Test matches, 111 ODIs and 56 international T20s played across five continents to arrive at this revelatory insight. How very humbling.

I've just come across a wonderfully dry and understated tweet from Mark Butcher in response to Broad's idiocy:
< mark butcher @markbutcher72 · Jan 28 Bowlers.... #brainsofarockinghorse >
Butch is far more entertaining as a pundit than he ever was as a batsman; he doesn't seem to give a flying fig whom he upsets, from Giles Clarke to revered players past and present; and from the pompous blazered chairmen of the div two counties he wants abolished to fellow hacks such as Dodgy Dobbers, whom he loves to mock in cricinfo's 'switch hit' videos.
Meanwhile, I've been thinking more about Broad's amazement at how big the world is and how the Aussies and others might exploit his wide-eyed wonder in the next round of sledging wars. Just tell him before he starts his first over that the world is a mere speck, an insignificant particle of dust in a vast and infinite universe (sounds like a job for the noted astrophysicist David Warner, to me). His entire shaven head will probably explode...
