I listend to Mark Howard's podcast i/v with TOTAB and he asked who he wished he'd spent more itme with looking back over his career. He said Kerry Packer, that he'd like to "know what motivated him" and I was thinking he was looking for insights into WSC or business, but then he said "he paid a few players to abandon the rebel tour to SA and play int eh 85 Ashes series - guys like Graeme Wood and Kepler Wessels. I want to know why he didn't pay Alderman, McCurdy and Rackemann!"

Hohns famously ended up playing 5 tests in the 89 Ashes triumph.

Kohli could learn from this.
Pretty silly really. Everything I read he thinks it was a case of mistaken identity so someone targeted his house twice thinking it was someone else's house. Understand the fear especially with young kids but no need to leave the country

From everything I've read getting your home broken into affects a lot of people at a really profound, psychological level, and the sense of violation never goes away even if the rational answer is just that it was bad luck.
That's definitely a more understandable and sympathetic reason to decamp to Dubai than like 99% of Westerners have.
